Cookie Bars

I love me a cookie bar. Growing up my mom's friend Fran made these for us every year on halloween. Thanks Fran for all the years of yummyness :)

Recipe

Ingredients:

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs 2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels

Preheat oven to 375° F.

Mix flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.

Grease 15 x 10-inch jelly-roll pan. Spread into prepared pan. Bake until chocolate chips just start to melt, about 3 minutes. Take a knife and swirl throughout dough. Bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan on wire rack. Makes 4 dozen bars.
