Here’s an easy, “lazy” Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars recipe — no mixer, no chilling, minimal dishes 🍪

Lazy Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

Ingredients

• ½ cup (1 stick) melted butter

• ¾ cup brown sugar

• ¼ cup white sugar

• 1 large egg

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1½ cups all-purpose flour

• ½ tsp baking soda

• ½ tsp salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. In a bowl, mix melted butter and both sugars until smooth.

3. Stir in the egg and vanilla.

4. Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix just until combined (don’t overmix).

5. Fold in the chocolate chips.

6. Spread the dough evenly in the pan.

7. Bake 20–25 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the center is just set.

8. Cool slightly, slice into bars, and enjoy.

Lazy Tips

• For gooey bars, bake closer to 20 minutes.

• Add-ins if you feel fancy (optional): nuts, white chocolate chips, or a sprinkle of sea salt on top.

• These taste amazing warm or chilled.

If you want, I can make this egg-free, one-bowl, or extra gooey 😄
