Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup (90g) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
  • ¼ cup (50g) dark brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoon (25g) granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla
  • 2 tablespoon (30ml) milk
  • ½ cup (85g) chocolate chunks (dark or semi-sweet)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 6-inch square pan and line it with parchment paper. Instead of a square pan, you can also use an 8x4-inch loaf pan.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Add melted butter, brown and granulated sugar, vanilla, and milk in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk well until everything is combined.
  • Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold the chocolate chunks into the cookie bar dough.
  • Transfer the dough to the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Top it with more chocolate chunks if you desire.
  • Bake for 16-18 minutes or until the top is light golden and firm to touch. You can also check the doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center. Do not overbake the cookie bars.
  • Allow cookie bars to cool completely before removing from the pan. Slice the cookie bars as you desire and enjoy!

Storing Suggestions

  • These Eggless Chocolate Chunk Cookie Bars are hard to resist, and the recipe is a small batch. But, if you still have leftovers, cover them tightly and keep them at room temperature for three days.
  • You can also refrigerate them for up to a week and bring them to room temperature before serving.
  • The Small Batch Chocolate Chunk Cookie Bars also freeze well. Freeze them in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to a month. Warm the frozen cookie bars in the microwave and serve.

Notes

  1. Brown Sugar: You can use either light or dark brown sugar. You can use granulated sugar if you do not have brown sugar.
  2. Chocolate Chunks: I like to use dark chocolate for these cookie bars. But you can also use semi-sweet chocolate. Also, instead of chocolate chunks, you can use chocolate chips.
  3. Baking: It is essential to avoid overbaking these cookie bars. So keep an eye on your oven after 14 minutes. Underbaked cookie bars will taste better than overbaked!
  4. Scaling: It is a specifically small-batch recipe, but you can double the recipe if you want. If you double the recipe, bake the cookie bars in an 8-inch square pan.
