Stir dry and wet components just until combined. Half the dry ingredients at a time is my preferred way. Mix most chocolate chips. Save ½ cup (85 g) for cookie bar topping.

Bake the cookies for 15–20 minutes until light golden brown and the edges are gently pushed out from the jelly roll pan. Cut and enjoy the bars after they cool in the pan!

Put chocolate chip bar cookies in an airtight container. Room temperature storage for 5 days. Freeze Toll House pan cookies to store them longer.
