Chocolate Chip Pan Chewies
(The Ultimate Soft & Gooey Cookie Bars!)
These thick, buttery, and extra-chewy cookie bars are like a cross between a chocolate chip cookie and a blondie—perfect for when you want maximum deliciousness with minimal effort.
Ingredients
-
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
-
1 ½ cups packed brown sugar (for maximum chew!)
-
2 large eggs
-
1 tbsp vanilla extract
-
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
-
1 tsp baking soda
-
½ tsp salt
-
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (or chunks)
-
Flaky sea salt (optional, for topping)
Instructions
1️⃣ Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper (or grease well).
2️⃣ Mix wet ingredients: In a bowl, whisk melted butter + brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs + vanilla, mixing well.
3️⃣ Add dry ingredients: Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined (don’t overmix!). Fold in chocolate chips.
4️⃣ Bake: Spread dough evenly in pan. Bake 20–25 mins—edges should be golden, but the center still looks slightly soft (this keeps them chewy!).
5️⃣ Cool & slice: Let cool 15 mins, then sprinkle with flaky salt (if using). Cut into squares!
Pro Tips
🔥 For extra gooeyness: Underbake slightly (22 mins is ideal for most ovens).
🍫 Mix-ins: Try M&Ms, pecans, or toffee bits for fun twists.
📦 Storage: Keep in an airtight container for 4 days—or freeze for up to 2 months!
Why These Are the BEST
✔️ No mixer needed—just a bowl and spoon!
✔️ Crispy edges + soft center = perfect texture.
✔️ Crowd-pleaser for parties, bake sales, or midnight snacks.
Serve warm with ice cream… or eat straight from the pan! 😉🍫
