Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
I’m a huge fan of cookie bars. You only have to dump all the dough in a pan and cook it once instead of a constant rotation of scooping, baking, and cooling. These are soft and gooey fresh from the oven and stay soft and delicious for a couple days, if they last that long.
