Photo: Nutty Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars Recipe
Ingredients
- 8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup golden brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped walnut pieces
- Chocolate Icing, recipe follows
- 1 to 2 cups mini-marshmallows
- 3/4 cup sweetened coconut flakes, toasted
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, beat together the butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla. Add the eggs and beat well. Add the flour, baking soda, salt, and mix to incorporate. Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts.
Pour into an ungreased 9 by 13-inch baking dish, spreading the dough into the corners as necessary and bake until puffed and golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes in the dish. Pour the Chocolate Icing over cooked chocolate chip cookies. Sprinkle with marshmallows and coconut and let sit until firm, about 1 hour. Cut into squares and serve.
Chocolate Icing:
- 1/2 pound semisweet chocolate, roughly chopped
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons dark corn syrup, plus more to taste
In a large bowl, place the chocolate and set aside.
In a small saucepan, whisk together the cream and corn syrup and bring to a boil. Pour the cream mixture into the bowl of chocolate and immediately whisk together until smooth.
Yield: about 4 cups

I have been baking for a long time. I was a little skeptical after some of the
reviews were less than favorable. I can see why now. The base of the
cookie bar was so dry and crumbly. It was not very good. It needed some
wetness to the dough to make it more moist. I had to throw the whole thing
out. I would not recommend this recipe. There are so many better ones
for cookie bars than this one.

i was kind of worried that they would turn out dry after reading some of the reviews and initially, they were not that great. major sadface. sooo i wrapped the dish in layers of saran wrap lol and waited until the next morning and omg they were soooooooooooo moist and delicious !! i brought them to my class and teachers and kids alike LOVED them. all day long it was "PLEASE MAKE THESE EVERY DAY!!" lol so thumbs up ! i'm making another batch tonight ! P.S. the only changes I made were adding lots of extra vanilla (3 TBSP. yes 3 TBSP, using 1/2 belgian milk chocolate and 1/2 belgian semi-sweet chocolate for the cookie and frosting, and omitting the marshmallows because, well, i'm not a huge fan of them. seriously took all my willpower to not eat the whole pan by myself lol.
