Ingredients

The following ingredients have 21 Servings
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour (don't over measure.)
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1 1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup Zulka Sugar or granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 bag Ghirardelli Semisweet Chocolate Chips + 1 cup Ghirardelli Mini Chocolate Chips

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 13x18 sheet pan with parchment paper, spraying the parchment with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In another large bowl, using an electric mixer at medium speed, beat together the butter, and sugars about 2 minutes and is smooth.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla and mix on low speed until mixed in.
  • Sift the flour, baking soda and salt over the wet mixture and mix together until just incorporated. Do not keep mixing - do not overmix.
  • Add bag of chocolate chips in and stir with a wooden spoon, again no overmixing, just until incorporated. Dough will be very thick.
  • Spread thick cookie dough out evenly by dropping spoonfuls onto the baking sheet and spread out with fingers or it helps to spray a rubber spatula with non-stick spray. 
  • Dough will spread out while baking, so you don't have to get the corners and edges perfect and will appear like you don't have enough, but you will.
  • Sprinkle mini chips to the top of the dough. (You can also have thicker bars with the recipe in the notes. It is not double the recipe, but 1 1/2 times the recipe)
  • Bake bars for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan on wire rack. Makes 3-4 dozen bars depending how big you make them.
  • Can also put in a 9x13 and an 8x8 pan for extra thick cookie bars.  Baking time 20 - 25 minutes.
