Every Wednesday my son Bill comes over for dinner. I always make him a nice home cooked meal and send him home with some leftovers. I also make dessert every Wednesday too. It is the only night of the week that dessert is guaranteed.
On the menu last week:
Chicken Parmesan!
This is one of Bill’s favorite recipes. When he was little this was the meal he always ordered whenever we would go out to eat. I love making chicken parm for him and always make a huge batch so he gets extra leftovers to bring home.
And for dessert:
Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars!
Here’s the recipe I used from Food.com Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Pan Cookie.
Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Pan Cookie
-
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1 (12 ounce) packages semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped nuts ( I like pecans) (optional)
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 375* Grease a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan.
- Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl.
- Beat butter, both sugars and vanilla in large mixer bowl.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each.
- Gradually beat flour mixture into butter mixture.
- Stir in chocolate chips and nuts.
- Spread into prepared pan.
- Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
I used a 9 x 13 pan and baked them for a few minutes longer. I started checking them after 25 minutes and took them out after about 8 to 10 minutes more. I also did not put nuts in mine.
I like to bake these when I have a craving for chocolate chip cookies but don’t want to spend all day baking them in batches. This is a much quicker way to get that Toll House Cookie fix!!
Enjoy!
Thanks for reading!

I like them better than cookies when it’s hot outside. With cookies I have to have the oven on for hours because I need to bake in batches. These I just dump the dough into one pan and half an hour later YUM! 😀

My Dear Svelte Cobs – didn’t you know that internet recipes are made up of virtual calories which = 0 because they are virtual!! You should make a double batch!
Enjoy!

These look delicious! I don’t have any eggs or chocolate chips left, unfortunately, so I have to wait until my husband goes grocery shopping to make them (because I am SO making a batch…or two this weekend!). Hope you’re having a good day!

Yes you need to make two batches of these!! Have you swapped out the dog sled on the ice roads for a canoe or kayak to get to town for cookie bar supplies yet? 😀

Tami, I am TOTALLY planning on making a double batch. They probably freeze well, right? Maybe I should make more than double. I don’t think I could ever tire of chocolate chip anything. The flood waters have finally receded so I docked my Ark, shaved my Huskies and pimped up my sled with some wheels.

Yummm. Both the chicken parm and the cookies look delicious. Chocolate chip cookies are my favorite dessert. 🍪🍪 Can’t wait to try this recipe but I don’t have the best luck with baking cookies. Once I used a brownie mix and decreased the ingredients to make cookies though, they turned out great!

I like this recipe because I don’t have to worry about the cookies going flat or overbaked – and I can cut it into giant pieces and say “Oh I only had one!” 😀 I’ll have to try that brownie mix trick!

Lol. I would definitely cut it into large pieces. The brownie mix cookies turn out like subway cookies. And I use Ghirardelli triple chocolate. In not sure exactly how much u decrease the oil by, but I think it’s 1egg. I found the recipe online.
