Tri-chip Cookie Bars to die for!!!

I love making cookies but I am so busy these days. I will be the first to admit, I have recently developed a cookie bar problem! I have a love affair with how easy it is to make cookies in bar form.

I was really longing for some chocolate chip cookies recently, so I decided to play with a basic dough recipe to make it perfect in bar form. But then something went terrible, terrible wrong, or should I say right! When I went to the cupboard for the chocolate chips, I spotted some butterscotch ones right next to some white chocolate chips. That is when I rubbed my hands together and went “Muuuuhh haaa haa haaaaa!!!” And of course the littlest country kid looked at me like I had lost my mind… but back to the baking…..

Yes, yes I did put all three kinds of chips in my dough! But I had to get the right combination of flavors and I am happy to say, after nibbling different chip combinations, I nailed it! Just ask my neighbor, she needed a moment of silence as she chewed in bliss! So how does one make a Tri-chip Cookie Bar to die for? I am glad you asked!!

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup of butter (softened)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  •  2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1/3 cup white chocolate chips (vanilla)
In a bowl, mix all the ingredients together, then add in the chips. I think we are all grown here so I will not say, cream this, or incorporate that….. just mush it all together. Heck grab your kids, make them mush it up! Now put the thick dough in a GREASED 9 x 13 pan. You will have to use your spatula to press it around. Bake at 325 degrees for 30 ish minutes. You know all stoves cook a little different. You will know the bars are done when they turn golden brown and pull away from the edges of the pan.
Let the pan cool before cutting. I know, I know, waiting is so hard to do when these are so good. Don’t worry, it doesn’t take long. Now grab a few and go hide in a closet. Trust me on this one. If the children know that you made them they will be all over you! And I apologize in advance for the addictive nature of these bars and the 5lbs you are about to gain from repeatedly making them!

  1. If you just skip the cutting and go at it with a fork you can dig in fresh out of the oven! Not that I do that. Every time. 😛
