Ingredients
  

  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups 12-ounce package NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a glass or metal 9x13-inch pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • Whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
    2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated.
    1 cup unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Slowly combine the flour mixture with the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Fold in 1 ½ cups chocolate chips, reserving ½ cup for the top.
    2 cups 12-ounce package NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
  • Spread the dough into the prepared baking pan and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool completely before slicing into squares.

Notes

The original recipe for this cookie bar was created by Nestle Toll House. I tested the original recipe and made changes to the baking temperature, baking time and type of pan that was used in the recipe.
When greasing your pan, use the butter wrapper. It's a great way to make use of the butter that's clinging to the paper wrapper.
If you love chewy chocolate chip cookies, slightly underbake your cookie bars! Take them out of the oven when the edges are set but the center still looks a little soft. They will continue to firm up as they cool, giving you that perfect texture.
If the tops of your bars are starting to brown, but they need more baking time, lay a piece of foil on top of the pan and finish baking.
