Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars 

When you said to "set some chocolate chips aside" I thought you were going to say, "so you can snack" LOL

first video I’ve watched, first impressions are: 1, this man is so sweet 2, definitely a parent. radiates dad energy. was expecting more dad jokes 3, wow original, creative recipe? cute small channels like this deserve so much more recognition

i hope i'll find someone who loves me as much as John loves parchment papers

My favorite part about this dude is, he just cooks for fun, not to get views, but to just help other people cook. Amazing. Keep doing what you do best!

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 270g 1 tsp baking soda 1 tbsp corn starch 1 tsp salt 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled 170g 1 cup packed light brown sugar 200g 2/3 cup granulated sugar 133g 2 eggs large, room temperature 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract 15mL 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips 200g 350 for 25-30 mins

"Let me know in the comments if you want the edge piece or the middle." *I want the whole pan*

I just baked this and it is probably the best thing I’ve ever made, and I’ve been baking for 2 years. It’s like taking a bite into a super thick and moist cookie. Thank you for this recipe!

Absolutely delicious chocolate chip cookie bars! I've tried a few of your recipes now, and each one has hit a home run in our household! Your style is virtually fool proof, and you are a joy to watch, a true pro in action but with a layperson's delivery that basically leads us down the garden path to a tasty reward. Thanks again John, love your channel.

me: Do you prefer brownies or a chocolate chip cookies? Him: yes

Watching this in bed when I just started trying to eat healthier... And now I am reconsidering 😂🤣

For me as a father and love making cookies and cake, this video make me have a great ideas for my kids. Thank you very much.

Thank you for existing! I really appreciate how you put your content together and all the amazing recipes you have!

Your parchment paper is so neatly fit in the pan, can you do a video on how you do that? Mine s always such a hot mess.

Let's get this man to 1M subs, he deserved his hard working and dedication to cooking. I love every moment of Preppy Kitchen's cooking videos.

This is the most wholesome channel (and person/host) I have ever seen in my life. It's nice to see this kind of content. It inspires me

This guy is so adorably nerdy about cake. Such Dad-energy. What an absolute angel.

There's something so satisfying with the way you lift the cooked cookie bar from the pan with no residue or whatsoever. I'm excited to make this soon.

I love the outside piece. The crunch and goo at the same time makes my heart sing.

Every time I watch one of your videos I have cravings! Bought some baking goodies today and I’m going to get started. Your recipes are wonderful! Thank you

❤love it! Thank you for teaching the ways of baking with a smile Sensei Preppy Kitchen!

You’re literally so sweet idk how to describe it but your smile and laugh while you’re just having fun making the cookies is so wholesome 😭❤️

My husband falls more and more in love with me the more of your incredible treats I make!! I believe this cookie bar just sent him over the top! Lol! Thanks John! ❤

love this simple yet delicious recipe. I made this because i notice i havent any dessert at all inside the fridge. it took me just 10 mins to make it plus the 30 mins baking time. Just love the way it turned out and really looks like what u made. I love preppy/John for the way you teaches us in every baking recipe you do.

I bake this cookie bar every time my friends and I have a sleepover and they are obsessed with them. They call me randomly sometimes, telling me that they are craving the cookie bars that they ate last time 😍 It brings me so much joy. So tender and chocolatey! Hands down the best cookie bar recipe ever☺️ thank you john for sharing with us all these goodness 🤍

I made these and they came out perfectly and beautifully! I reduced the amount of sugar & chocolate a little but still they tasted so well. I even love the way they look ❤ Thank you John!

I love that you give the measurements in grams too. It is so helpful for us who live in Europe where measuring cups are not common :)

Sir, you are like a bright sunny day. Every time I watch one of your videos, my day gets so much better. Please don't EVER change! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe. (And I like that even when you make a little goof-like I saw in some of your other videos-you keep it in there. Thank you! That is most enjoyable to see, because it shows you can still have fun and things will still turn out so long as its not a Big oops.) Have a great day-thanks again!

I’ve made these a hundred times I swear! They are thee best quick chocolate chip cookie ever. I love the sea salt on the top too !!! Happy Valentine’s Day ❤👨‍👨‍👦‍👦

I have at this point made edibles from quite a few of your recipes and everyone who tried them were very pleased with the results. Thank you John!!

“A crime scene of chocolate!” 😊Just the best channel and host for revving up your baking skills. Thanks. Charming gentleman as always and makes baking look easy.

Your videos and recipes make me happy! And the recipes always turn out soo good!! Thank you so much for sharing them and the effort you put in to make your videos! Hope you're having a wonderful day ☀️

This looks ridiculously delicious! I love the end pieces and all thing crunchy! I love your videos. You are absolutely amazing and calming to watch. Thank you for being so awesome. I am Wishing you and your family the best! 🙏🏾💛🙏🏾

I made the brownies and it was sooooo delicious. I'm going to make this and the brownie and sandwich them together. Yumm 😋

Just stumbled onto preppy kitchen and I'm kind of in love with you! Your videos are freaking adorable and I can't wait to try some of your recipes!

I made these yesterday and they are GORGEOUS!!!! Please please please please please try them, they are SO easy to make and they will be the BEST thing you will ever taste!! Thank you @preppykitchen for sharing this recipe!!!😊😊😊

I made this recipe and was definitely impressed. I left it in the oven for 40 minutes and it turned out perfect. It turns out the corner and center pieces were both delightful! ☺️

Happy to see these are gooey instead of cakey like so many other recipes. I'll definitely be making this one and perhaps eating all the edges myself. They are the BEST!!!

This recipe is my husband favorite, he requested every time. I noticed that because John lives in very very very cold place, he forgets about people baking in more warmer places. That’s why I ended up with my first attempt sinking in the middle and very tall on the edges (nothing that bothers my husband or I), but it definitely did not look like the pictures on johns Instagram. The second time I baked this I melted the butter with less heat so there’s a little of minuscule solid butter particles and at the end I put te batter in the fridge por 20 min so the batter wasn’t as runny or melted (more firm, just like the one in the video) . Still the cookie bar sunk a little but not as much as the first attempt

These are amazing!!! Made them yesterday and my whole family loved them, defo recommend!

I am currently binge watching your videos, you are an amazing cook and your videos are super entertaining and easy to understand. I would definitely buy a recipe book from you !

These are so amazing! I made them, and they are soooooooooooooooooooooooo good! Thank you so much for making them!

Tried this and they were sooo good, everyone loved it! Cant wait to make it again.

I recently found your channel. I am a novice baker and I can't wait to make these. My chef hubby recently went to heaven and he was the master baker! Thank you for inspiring and I can't wait to make my hubby proud of me!

Just made these this afternoon and wow 👏 😍 they are amazing and came out just like yours 👍. I enjoy baking but at times had cakes not go as planned and broken up when taking out of the tins but these were perfect 😀thank you for this amazing recipe, will definitely be making these again 👍

This looks absolutely delicious! I have 2 weeks off from school right now, so I'm definitely going to make these. Thanks for the great recipe! 💖

He seems like the cool uncle all the kids run to the door to meet at Christmas

I love your recipes, you make everything seem so easy and delicious 😋 Thank u for doing what you do

Theses are that best chocolate chip cookie bars EVER!!!!! Love them and Love you .

I love how genuinely happy he gets about baking

i made these and my friends LOVE them!!! they won’t stop bugging me to make more lol

the best thing ever is tasting something you made and it being the most delicious thing ever

This recipe is the bomb! These are the most delicious cookie bars I have ever had. Far better than any cookie 🤤 thank you so much John for such a wonderful recipe

I wanted to bake something for my coworkers and this perfect recipe magically appeared in my RU-vid feed. Making these tomorrow. 😋 on a side note- the host is as sweet as those cookie bars and has such a lovable demeanor.

I’ve made this recipe twice within the past month, it is DIVINE!! 😍

This is one of the best recipes ever!! I decided to make this and everyone in my family loves it

I made these today and used half recipe (in same 8x8 pan) and the bake time ended up to be 22 minutes with a light brown top. These are delicious! Bars are faster than cookies. I put this is my recipe book. You need to get a cook book. Would definitely buy! Definitely needs to be a dessert cook book

I love his personality, he’s so charismatic

I made these yesterday and they came out soooo good. I made sure to weigh my flour as I’ve made the mistake to pack it in other occasions 😭 these are absolutely delicious!! Thank you, I love your channel and how you make it so much easier. Your recipes are AMAZING 😋

I just made these yesterday and they were absolutely delicious, my parents love them!! Fantastic recipe, and great video ☺❤

i currently learning how to make cookies have no basic skill at all but watching your videos just make me want to learn more but after finishing your videos that radiate so much positive energy. I hope i can make at least something to eat off of out from you inspiring video. thank you

I just made these this weekend and can't stop talking about how amazing they are with every bite! I'm not even done eating the first batch and looking for a reason to make them again. Hello Quarantine 15!

When he actually has enough self-control to set aside a handful of chocolate chips and not eat them all before you reach the point where you garnish the top...

I just discovered your channel and I already watched soo many amazing videos. Can´t wait to try all of the recipes as soon as my kitchen is done! Also I`m utterly in love with this channel! Thank you!

I love the edge piece it’s nice and crunchy i am so craving this right now

Let the chips fall where they may, hopefully all in one corner because that's my favorite piece. Awesomeness, John!

I love the sound of chocolate chips clinking against each other! This is mouthwatering! When will technology allow us to reach into these videos and grab a cookie bar! Those parents are so lucky. Thanks again for an easy and yum-looking recipe!

I’ve just made this and its fricking amazing🤤🤤🔥🔥🔥 thank u john for your delicious recipes

Make them! Super delicious!!! Put them in for 35 minutes and it was PERFECTION! Thank you, love your channel and videos!!! ❤️❤️❤️

These are currently in my oven now! First time I’ve ever actually used a scale to measure the ingredients! Also first time making these and I doubled the recipe (even cookie bars for that matter!) I’m sure they are going to be delightful!

I made these earlier today and oh my so ooey and goey delious. I will share with my co-workers tomorrow. Thanks for sharing. Next time I'm adding pecans

I made these and they turned out soooooo good, everyone was fighting for another piece !!! Thank you for this amazing recipe x

Hello from germany , love your channel so much. Thank you for showing the recipes in gramms as well , so i can try it out.The cookie bars are so yummy!

Made this today. Absolutely scrumptious. So glad yours was the recipe I settled on. No mixer. No creaming butter. No portioning. So easy. Too easy. Thanks. All the best to Brian and the kids.

Who here while fasting

My wife just made this and I had to get on to say - Thank You! The house smelt like heaven and it was so delicious! Perfectly gooey, but crunchy at the same time! And the salt flakes really brought out the flavour...

Hi John, I made these chocolate chip cookie bars a few days ago and brought it to my family gathering during CNY. My family loves them and this is just plain amazing. Thanks for uploading and creating such an amazing recipe :D

I'm not sure how this popped up in my recommended, but I loved this video so much! You got a new subscriber!

Perfect time to upload, I was just like hmmm, what are we gonna bake today and then you uploaded😂

This recipe is reaaaaally delicious! I love it so freaking much! I've done it like 4 times now. Highly recommended ❤️😤

i have made o lot of your recipes and i love it my grandkids is with me today and first thing is lets make preppy brownies ty for your recipes GOd bless you and your family

Ah. My family calls those “firework cookies” because my grandma used to make them and we’d take them with us when we watched the fireworks on the 4th of July. We don’t go to see the fireworks anymore though. We haven’t for a while. I really wanna make these for some quality nostalgia, haha

I made these tonight to take to work with me tomorrow night. Let me warn everyone of one simple thing: if you mix up your containers of All Purpose Flour and Self-Rising Flour, you're going to have a mess, especially since you add baking soda to these as part of the recipe. I had doubled the recipe to have two 8x8 pans to take. They overflowed in the oven (luckily onto foil on the rack below) during their 35 minutes of cooking. I let them cool and then cut them up to clean up the edges and turns out they weren't done, so back into the oven for a few more minutes. All in all, they are a 10/10 in terms of taste...but man, I'm getting me a label maker. John's recipes always turn out great for me, and with a little extra work, this did too.

The edge is the best I love the texture of the edge

Wow what a great recipe! I just made them and they are super tasty, crunchy on top and chewie in the middle. I would recommend a lot less sugars and chocolate because it was way too much. Thank you John, you videos are amazing. Thorough, professional and pleasant. I quit baking years ago because recipes were always inaccurate in some way so I gave up eventually but I tried this recipe and the peanut butter cookies so far and these two were the best I've ever tasted!

One of the few content providers that I will watch the commercials, in order for John Kanell (Preppy Kitchen) to receive compensation for his efforts in producing such AWESOME and wonderful videos.

Me: doing the chloe ting workout challenges Also me: watches these videos, makes notes, and makes it the next day bc THERE ALL SO GOOOOOOOOD 😍😍🥵

Made these today. Great recipe, they look and taste awesome. Thank you for the inspiration, John,

I was looking for a recipe like this and you had a great recipe..I added walnuts too. Sorting through all the recipes on utube I found yours to be the easiest and quick!!!

Omg these look so good! Reminds me of the “Brookies” from Trader Joe’s!

Edge pieces every time!!! 😍

My husband and I were craving some bars but didn't want much and didn't to have leftovers so I halved this recipe (food scale is my friend). I baked it in a 9x5 loaf pan for 30 minutes. I checked on it at 20 minutes and the edges were done but the middle wasn't so I covered it with aluminum for the last 10 minutes. PERFECTION! It was more than enough for us and our son.

I made them as cookies and trust me they tasted soooo damn good like the best cookies I've ever had with the perfect amount of everything everyone loved it soo much thank you preppy kitchen❤

I just imagine the other parents saying "oh boy! Play date at John's house today! Yummy!"

I just made these and while they taste good there is too much chocolate ( I can't believe that coming from me, but it's true). Also I'd recommend cutting them after refrigeration. They were a little too soft to cleanly cut. Oh and I've found that if Preppy Kitchen makes it, then so can I, his recipes are so easy to follow. I've made his cinnamon rolls dozens of times now *EDIT* ...II take this back in part, but left my comment in case it's helpful. These firmed up WONDERFULLY after chilling, and my husband said they are decadent and he loves them

I made this recipe last weekend I just added white chocolate chips to the top but mixed I'm semi sweet chocolate chips and it was delicious. I made it Saturday morning and my family finished it by Sunday. I'll definitely be making it again for Christmas 🎄

Amazing receipe, very well explained. Thanks for posting!

"I'm currently intoxicated" LOL

My mom has made these my whole life and we some times do this instead of a birthday cake for family parties, it’s super easy to add some icing and sprinkles to decorate the top and boom chocolate chip cookie “birthday cake”

You are so helpful. I am a baker and I love trying new things. Keep posting amazing videos because they are so helpful!

I tried this recipe and they were AMAZING!! Thanks alot I can't stop nibbling on them 😀😀!!I have tried a lot of your recipes and they are all just fantastic.!!Thanks alot once again 😄😄
