Editing How to Bake Chocolate Chip Bar Cookies (section)

== Tips for Perfect Cookie Bars ==

- Use melted butter for a chewier texture. The melted butter coats the flour, creating a denser, chewier bar[1].

- Don't overbake. The bars may look slightly underdone in the center when you take them out, but they will continue to set as they cool[2].

- For extra flavor, try browning the butter before adding it to the sugar[7].

- Add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top just after baking for a flavor boost[1].

- For thicker bars, use a 9x9 inch pan instead of a 9x13[6].

- Mix up the add-ins - try different types of chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit[1].
