Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars


1 cup butter or margarine
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 package (12 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Heat oven to 375*.

Mix butter, sugar, brown sugar and egg with electric mixer until creamy.

Stir in flour, baking soda and salt, dough will be stiff.

Stir in chocolate chips.

Spray a 9 X 13 inch baking pan with cooking spray.

Spread cookie dough in baking pan using a spatula and spread even.

Bake for about 25 minutes, until golden brown.

Let cool, then cut into bars.




I haven't made these cookies in a while. I used to make them all the time when I was packing 15 lunches a week! The boys really like them in bars for a change and I can put them in the oven and forget them for a while, unlike regular chocolate chip cookies.
