I love these chocolate chip cookie bars because you just pat the dough into the pan to bake- nothing to roll into balls or cut out with cookie cutters. We prefer to make a triple batch of the dough and then divide it up to make chocolate chip cookie bars, butterscotch chip cookie bars, and plain cookie bars (without chips).

Ingredients
2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup of sugar
¾ cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1½ cups chocolate chips (or any kind of chip, or even none at all!)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Place the butter and sugars into the mixing bowl and beat until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
Add the egg and vanilla and mix until they are fully incorporated. Add the flour mixture and beat until just combined.
Press the dough into a 9×9 inch baking pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes until golden brown on top. Allow to cool, and then cut into squares to serve.
