Description

These Chocolate Chip Bar Cookies offer the best of both worlds: the ease of a bar cookie and the classic taste of a chocolate chip cookie. Made with a tender dough studded with generous amounts of chocolate, they bake up golden brown with a slightly crisp edge and a soft, chewy center. The addition of wheat germ adds a subtle nuttiness and wholesome texture without overpowering the sweet, buttery flavor. Perfect for potlucks, school bake sales, or simply satisfying a sweet tooth after dinner, these bars cut cleanly and store beautifully. They are a nostalgic favorite that brings warmth and comfort to any table, requiring no rolling or shaping, just mix, spread, and bake.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, wheat germ, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with brown sugar and regular sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Spread the dough evenly into an ungreased 15x10 inch jelly roll pan.
  8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  9. Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
  10. Cut into 2 1/2 x 1 1/2 inch bars before serving.
