Raising the BAR on Chocolate Chip cookies.
Why didn’t I start making these earlier? Say goodbye to your cookies sheets!
I have a reputation with our kids’ friends. They know that at anytime, if they stop in, there will always be cookies in my cookie jar.
In fact, sometimes I get special requests for baked goodies from the friends my kids eat lunch with.
They know that whatever is packed for lunch or snack break, it will be worth trading for.
Come to think of it, my cookies are pretty much the Gold Standard around the cafeteria :~D
Years after my older son graduated when he sees his friends they will tell him to say “Hi” to me, and let him know how much they miss my cookies!
Baking cookies is a bit of a commitment. Of course it probably didn’t help that I usually made three to four batches at once. What didn’t fit in the cookie jar I put into zip lock bags and saved in the freezer.
Every 12 minutes the timer went off. Cookies were put onto a cooling rack and more scooped onto the hot pans, ready to be popped back in the oven. Another 12 minutes.
I think it is time to stream line my baking operation. These bars look amazing and I LOVE the fact that they have the salted top. Plus, the triangles look so cute that I think the kids , and their friends, won’t mind the difference!
I know being able to bake all these at once, I won’t mind not standing in the kitchen for an hour..or two!
So apron up! There are cookies to bake and lunches to pack.
This is what Kelly of Just a Taste has to say about this cookie recipe.
These tasty triangles are an updated take on my go-to recipe for Secret Ingredient Chocolate Chip Cookies. The chocolate chip cookie bars also contain the secret ingredient, plus a touch more flour for a slightly sturdier cake-line consistency. So if you’re going for the ooey-gooey end result, all you have to do is underbake these bad boys and you’ll be golden.

Quick Tip: I love to mix my chips! Try half white chocolate chip and half semi-sweet, or add in butterscotch chips. What the heck..go for a triple combo!
