Pro Tips for Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars:

  1. Proper Mixing: Start by thoroughly mixing the butter and sugar, which forms the base of your batter.
  2. Avoid Overmixing: Once you add the flour, mix just until the ingredients are combined to keep the texture soft and chewy.
  3. Even Spreading: Smooth the batter evenly in your pan to ensure consistent baking and perfectly cooked edges.
  4. Don’t Overbake: Keep an eye on your oven because the bars should be just set in the middle to retain a gooey center.
  5. Cool Before Cutting: Let the bars cool completely in the pan to make cutting cleaner and easier.
