Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownie Bars -

When you just can’t decide between two favorite desserts in the house, why not make both? The kids and I had a hard time choosing whether or not to make chocolate chip cookies or brownies, so I suggested a recipe we hadn’t made in a while. Chocolate chip cookie brownie bars are the best of both worlds, offering all the chocolatey goodness of a brownie with the chewy delights of a cookie.

Here’s What You’ll Need:

Chocolate Chip Brownie Bar Alternatives

I love white chocolate and try to sneak it into my desserts when I can. The kids aren’t big fans, so I tend to bake with chocolate chips more often. But is you like white chocolate, try this chocolate chip brownie bar with half milk chocolate and half white chocolate chips. It’s delicious! For peanut butter fans, add in peanut butter chips!
