I NEEDED to fill up the Cookie Jar, Fast! See, my husband bought me a lil sign to hang in the kitchen: “Grandmas never run out of Hugs or Cookies!” and the grandsons were on their way over so I needed to get some cookies baked. The only problem is that I had a Turkey in the oven! But no worries because I have this fancy new stove that has duel oven capabilities! So, next step, find something yummy to bake that I can do all in one hit and not be feeding baking trays into the oven all afternoon long; voila, Cookie Bars!<\/p>\n

Now the only trouble is that they were so good my Cookie Jar is almost empty again!<\/p>\n

I found the recipe at Very Best of Baking<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Chocolate<\/a>
Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

1 cup Butter, at room temperature
\n3\/4 cup Sugar
\n3\/4 cup Brown Sugar
\n1 teaspoon Vanilla
\n2 large Eggs<\/p>\n

2 1\/4 cup Flour
\n1 teaspoon Baking Soda
\n1 teaspoon Salt
\n2 cups Chocolate Chips
\n1 cup Chopped Nuts (optional)<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 375F.
\nLightly spray at 15×10″ jelly roll pan (cookie sheet with sides)<\/p>\n

In mixing bowl cream together butter, sugar and brown sugar.
\nAdd eggs, one at a time, stirring well after each addition; stir in vanilla.
\nBeat until light and fluffy.
\nStir in flour, baking soda, and salt just until combined.
\nAdd chocolate chips and chopped nuts; stir well.<\/p>\n

Spread cookie dough onto prepared pan, patting it down with your hands and pushing it towards the corners. (very messy process!)<\/p>\n

Bake in 375F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
\nCool in pan on wire rack.
\nCut into bars.<\/p>\n

Makes up to 48 bars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
