Chocolate Sugar Cookie Bars
This chocolate sugar cookie bars recipe is made with a standard sugar cookie dough but with rich chocolate flavor.
Servings: 16 squares
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted and lightly cooled
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder sifted
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, mix together the butter and both sugars until combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
- Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan. You can use your hands or a spatula to help spread it out. Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top and a garnish of granulated sugar.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
