Chocolate Chip Pan Chewies: Easy Chewy Bar Cookies

Print Recipe

These Chocolate Chip Pan Chewies are easy-to-make bar cookies that offer a perfect blend of gooey chocolate and a dense, chewy texture. Baked in a single pan, they are a convenient and delicious alternative to classic drop cookies.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract until the mixture is glossy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined (do not overmix).
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and optional nuts until evenly distributed.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and shake slightly to settle.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  9. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting.

Notes

  • For the chewiest results, ensure you do not overbake the bars; they should still look slightly soft in the center.
  • Using parchment paper with an overhang allows you to lift the entire block out for clean slicing.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
