Kareni Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I love chocolate chip cookies; however, I'm too lazy to make pans and pans of individual cookies. Do you have a favorite chocolate chip bar cookie recipe? Please post it here. Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garga Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 We made some inadvertent bar cookies the other day. My son forgot to put in the extra 1 1/4 cup of flour into the chocolate chip cookies. They spread completely on our bar pan. I used the spatula to make squares and scooped them out. When they cooled, they were sooooo yummy. Well, if you like a butter/sugar barely held together by flour sort of thing. (I do.) For the second batch, I left them on the pan to cool before I took them off, but when I tried to get them off, they had crisped up and I could only chip them off. We bagged up the first batch, called them "Chocolate Chip Crisps" and sold them at the bake sale today at our co-op. The ones that crumbled on the pan, we kept and scarfed them up for breakfast. (We really couldn't resist.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Just about any drop cookie can be a bar cookie, you don't need a special bar recipe. Just press your cookie dough into a pan and bake it and then cut it into bars. NBD. So, if you already have a chocolate chip cookie recipe you like, just use that. Or even the one on the back of the package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renthead Mommy Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 These aren't chocolate chip cookies, but they have chocolate chips in them. But you have to like peanut butter. They are sort of like a filling for a peanut butter cup. But they require no baking! Mix: 1 cup melted butter 1 3/4 cup graham cracker cumbs, but I use ginger snaps. You could use just about any kind of cookie I guess. 1 cup creamy peanut butter 1-2 cups powdered sugar. The orginal recipe called for like 2 1/2 cups of powdered sugar, which I think is crazy. I add about 1 cup it is perfectly fine. Spread that in a 9x13 pan or two 9" pans, or whatever fits your freezer best. Spray the pans or line with parchment. In microwavable bowl mix 1 or more chocolate chips and 1 cup peanut butter. Microwave till chocolate is melted. Pour on top of PB mix. Freeze till solid. Flip out onto cutting board. Cut into bar size pieces with pizza cutter. Drop into ziplock freezer bag and store in freezer. Eat frozen. So good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UncleEJ Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 These are really good. They are called blondies but really they taste like a chocolate chip cookie to me! I found they needed more time to bake. I like an under-cooked cookie but these really did need a bit extra. http://www.shutterbean.com/2012/chocolate-chunk-blondies/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even make no bakes this way instead of individual "drops." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaLisa Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Here's one I just pinned. I reminds me of the cowboy cookies and should be a good spin on the standard chocolate chip bars. Lisa Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie Bars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmandaVT Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Love these - you could probably put chocolate chips into the batter instead of melting on top, but they're really good on top. I typically do a blend of nuts and coconut too. http://www.cooks.com/recipe/1s69g9re/susans-toffee-bars.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slartibartfast Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 My eldest doesn't like brownies all that much. (???) So when I had a box of brownie mix, which wouldn't make her happy, and not enough ingredients to make chocolate chip cookies, which made us all unhappy I decided to get a bit crazy. I made the brownie mix but then I took this recipe and halved it http://www.marthastewart.com/344840/soft-and-chewy-chocolate-chip-cookies and then dropped blobs of it into the uncooked brownie batter then baked it. It was a great day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing. Regards, Kareni We have done it a few times since. She just doesn't like ALL chocolate of something. If it is cake she wants the cake or the icing not to be chocolate. She always tends to order vanilla ice cream. She likes chocolate but not chocolate overload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unsinkable Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Guilty as charged! I've learned something new today! Do you have a favorite recipe for a brookie? Regards, Kareni I make a "one bowl brownie" recipe...the kind with unsweetened chocolate squares that makes a 13x9 recipes. I drop spoonfuls of the "toll house cookie" dough on top of the raw brownie batter. I kind of wing the amount. You want some brownie batter showing. I also push the cookie dough down a bit into the batter. I don't use the entire recipe of toll house dough. Bake at 350 for about 25-30 minutes until the brownies and cookies both are done.

It's nice to use the full toll house recipe because then you have dough left over to make individual cookies if you roll that way. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
