I love these. They actually taste just like cookies instead of cake. I cut the recipe in half and spread in a 13x9. That is PLENTY for our family of four.

This recipe was okay. I liked the fact that it called for ingredients I always have on hand and it was fast and easy. However, the bars lacked flavor. My husband flat out said they were NOT good. They're not the best cookie bars I've ever made. I wouldn't recommend this recipe based on flavor, but they were fast and easy! Also, FYI, the recipe doesn't need the egg other reviewers added. The mixture is supposed to be crumbly-the butter adds fat and oil for moisture-so you can press it in the pan like the recipe says. These are bars, not cookies, so the mix doesn't need to be cookie dough consistency.

I made some changes and this recipe still didn't turn out so well. I added extra vanilla, 2 eggs and a 1/4 cup of white sugar and it tasted more like chocolate chip shortbread. I would decrease the amount of flour to 1.5 cups next time, add 2 eggs, 2 tsp vanilla and a little milk...but it might need more than that.

Excellent! I did add one egg; 1 tsp baking soda; 1 tsp baking powder; and approx. 1/2 to 3/4 cup of quick oatmeal. So easy to make and cooked very evenly. I can't wait until my teenagers come home and try them!

I liked this bar. Of course, it was not as good as a regular chocolate chip cookie, but it had a nice shortbread quality that I enjoyed for a change, but would not want all the time. For the best shortbread taste you'd use all butter of course, but to save money I used half butter, half shortening and it still was nice and buttery. What I really appreciated about this recipe was the fact that it is egg-free, as my toddler son is allergic to egg. He enjoyed this recipe.

This is honestly the best bar cookie I've ever made!! Followed the recipe exacxtly (with the addition of a little more salt) and they were wonderful! They taste like a chocolate chip shortbread. I did not fill the 15x10 completely...so may be keeping these a little thicker was the key. They looked a little underdone when I pulled them out of the over...but let them sit there to cool and they set up perfectly!! A new favorite!

I've tried many differant recipes for Choc Chips Cookie Bars, and so far these have been my favorite. (The only change I made in the recipe was using freshly ground wheat flour). Thank you for the great recipe!

I'm giving this four stars because I liked the fact that I was low on ingredients yet I was able to make these. I had everything it called for. It did however lack some flavor and were a little dry. I added one egg as suggested by a user. I used mini chocolate chips and those worked well in the bars. It just needed something else. My kids loved making them and were happy so that's what counts!!

We were all jonesin' for something sweet here tonight, and to my dismay I was limited on flour, had NO baking soda OR white sugar. This fit the bill perfectly. Had a lil' less flour than this recipe called for (just over 1.5 cups). Added two eggs, per suggestions. Baked at 325...for an eternity! (Close to 45 minutes) Oh, yeah: I also used a full bag o' semi-sweet choco chips. (Dropped some of 'em on the top before baking, for aesthetic). Easy and killed that "sweetie beast." Thanks!

I made the recipe as stated, but used a salt-free margarine. I wanted a cookie I could give my son who is allergic to dairy and eggs. The bars tasted good, but had a sort of grainy texture. I think that is part of the problem for other reviewers, too... I beat the dough for an extra few minutes to try to get it smoother. I think I may try using some honey in place of some of the brown sugar the next time I make these to add a little moisture to the dough so it holds together better. Also, I used a 13X9 glass pan and cooked them at 325F for 25 mins.

There's nothing "wrong" with this recipe, but prepared as-is it's extremely dry and crumbly, more like shortbread. Which is fine, I like shortbread. But if you're looking for a chocolate chip cookie-like bar, this is not really the recipe for you.

I have used this recipe many times and love it due to the fact less ingrediants are used than what is required for regular chocolate chip cookie bars. the only adjustment I made was to add more chocolate chips and omit pecans. (which is the way my kids like them).

The first time I made these I added an egg and baking soda, but they still turned out dry and flavourless. Now I have PERFECTED this recipe. I added an egg, 1 tablespoon of milk, an extra bit of vanilla, and 1/4 cup of white sugar. Also, be SURE to sift the flour. I also used a mixture of peanut butter & chocolate chips for added flavour! The second time they turned out AMAZING!
