Tips & Tricks for Perfecting Chocolate Chip Bar Cookies
You can replace the butter in this recipe with margarine
I use organic sugar for this recipe. You can substitute and mix 1 cup brown sugar with 1 cup of regular sugar if you prefer
I also like to use ¾ cup regular unbleached flour and ¼ cup of almond flour. This combination of flours adds a little firmness to the cookies
Other nuts can be substituted for pecans in this recipe. Try walnuts, peanuts, almonds or cashews.
This recipe is very fluffy since it uses very little flour. It will puff up in the oven and the chocolate chips and pecans will settle to the bottom of the pan, this is how this recipe works
If you like, you can line the baking pan with foil then grease the foil and pour in the cookie batter. This can make it easier to pull the entire bar cookie out of the pan, making it easier to cut and serve. This will also aid in the clean up process
This recipe is also great served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream – Yummy!!
