So, how do you feel about soft, warm, chocolate chip cookies? How about that flavor in bar form? Because that is exactly what these bars taste like! Soft, warm, gooey chocolate chip cookies that are super easy to make!

Since not everyone in my family loves lots of chocolate, I needed to make something that they could enjoy while everyone else was enjoying the chocolate wacky cake for my mom’s birthday.

 

My dad requested that I try making a chocolate chip cookie bar that he remembered having growing up. (No pressure there trying to duplicate your grandma’s recipe!)

We had a partial recipe from my grandma, but some things (like most of the measurements) were left up to interpretation.

After some guessing, and looking through other recipes, this was the end result! A thick, soft, chocolaty cookie bar that was dad approved. 🙂

These chocolate chips bars are great alone, especially straight from the oven while the bars are still warm and the chocolate is melty.

But, if you’re feeling like you want something a little more, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. You won’t be disappointed!
