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)
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. 😛
Bwaa haa haa Note taken!!!
This is genius. I never really thought to just make a bar of cookie, but really, what's stopping me?! TRI-CHIPS? Yum. Thanks for this!
I just got so tired of taking pan after pan out of the over every 10 minutes. Maybe I am lazy? LOL
These look sweet, chocolaty and delicious! What a great combination! THanks so much for sharing at Wake Up Wednesday 🙂
