Frequently asked questions – FAQ

How to store these chocolate chip toll house bars?

Once these cookie bars are baked, allow them to cool down fully before transferring them to an airtight container. They will store at room temperature for up to 4 days. 

You can place them in the fridge for longer. I would just microwave them a little to get them gooey gooey again before enjoying. 

Can I freeze these cookie bars?

I like to wrap each cooled down cookie bar individually in plastic wrap then transfer to a large ziploc bag and freeze for up to 3 months. You can pull out at a time whenever the cravings hit or you can pull them all out and allow them to thaw on the counter at room temperature. 

Can I make these easy bar cookies ahead of time?

Absolutely! I would prepared the dough and spread it onto the jelly roll pan, wrap tightly with plastic wrap then chill in the fridge. Whenever you are ready to bake them pull them out of the fridge and allow the cookie dough to get back to room temperature then bake in the preheated oven. 

Can I half this recipe?

You sure can in a different size pan! Bake it in an 8×8 inch pan for about 18-19 minutes depending on your oven. 

How to take these cookie bars to the next level?

• Sprinkle some sea salt on top of your classic chocolate chip cookies.
