Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
These awesome chocolate chip cookie bars are mouth-watering, delicious and, best of all, vegan! Baking a batch of these is an effortless way to get your chocolate chip cookie fix. Not only do they contain only nine ingredients (likely sitting around in your pantry), but they’re ready in just thirty minutes. They’re also incredibly easy to make. No need to use a mixer, cool the dough, or roll it into balls. Truly simple and easy enough for a beginning baker. For all these reasons, they’ve become a new favorite in my household.
We all love the combination of chocolate and cookies. So the next time you crave a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie but don’t want to go through the usual hassle or extra ingredients, try this cookie bar recipe. Bring it to your next potluck, family dinner, get-together with friends, book club, or even the school bake sale. You can also make them well in advance. They freeze well, or will last a good while on the counter – provided you don’t eat them all first!
We will be using only one mixing bowl. We’ll add butter, sugar, milk and vanilla extract and stir. We’ll follow this with baking powder and baking soda and whisk again. Next, we’ll add all-purpose flour along with chocolate chips and mix everything together. We’ll then transfer this dough to a single flat baking sheet pan and bake it for thirty minutes. Finally, after removing it from the oven, we’ll allow it to cool down for a few minutes before carefully slicing it into squares. These cookie bars go best with morning coffee or tea, or as an evening snack by themselves.
