I love these super chewy dessert bars for when you have a Chocolate Chip Cookie craving but you don’t have the time, patience, or volunteers to help you scoop cookies. They're a fall favourite that are easy to slice, and freeze fantastically well, too.

• Recipe Information •
Makes one 9-inch (23 cm) square pan
Cuts into 25 to 36 bars
Prep Time: Under 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 cup (200 g) packed light brown sugar
½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp (10 mL) vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups (337 g) all-purpose flour
¼ cup (32 g) cornstarch
¾ tsp baking soda
¾ tsp fine salt
1 ½ cups (263 g) chocolate chips
1. Preheat the oven to 350F (180C). Lightly grease and line a 9-inch (23 cm) square pan with parchment paper so that the paper comes up the sides.
2. Combine the wet ingredients. Whisk the melted butter with the brown and granulated sugars. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla.
3. Sift in the flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt and still until evenly combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and spread to level it.
4. Bake the bars for about 30 minutes, until it starts to rise at the edges. Cool the bars in their pan on a rack, before removing to portion into bars.
The bars will keep, well-wrapped and unrefrigerated, for up to 5 days. They can be frozen for up to 3 months.
