My husband and I were craving some bars but didn't want much and didn't to have leftovers so I halved this recipe (food scale is my friend). I baked it in a 9x5 loaf pan for 30 minutes. I checked on it at 20 minutes and the edges were done but the middle wasn't so I covered it with aluminum for the last 10 minutes. PERFECTION! It was more than enough for us and our son.

There's something so satisfying with the way you lift the cooked cookie bar from the pan with no residue or whatsoever. I'm excited to make this soon.

[@catnash]

I made these tonight to take to work with me tomorrow night. Let me warn everyone of one simple thing: if you mix up your containers of All Purpose Flour and Self-Rising Flour, you're going to have a mess, especially since you add baking soda to these as part of the recipe. I had doubled the recipe to have two 8x8 pans to take. They overflowed in the oven (luckily onto foil on the rack below) during their 35 minutes of cooking. I let them cool and then cut them up to clean up the edges and turns out they weren't done, so back into the oven for a few more minutes. All in all, they are a 10/10 in terms of taste...but man, I'm getting me a label maker. John's recipes always turn out great for me, and with a little extra work, this did too.

[@janicekennedy2047]

A tip if you need it to stick to the pan better is to add a little bit of oil on the pan and then placing your parchment, it doesn't move around as much and I find it easier to cut and fold it!

[@debbielc8599]

Is he falling more in love with you or with John? 🤔😜

[@marcelacarmona9124]

This recipe is my husband favorite, he requested every time. I noticed that because John lives in very very very cold place, he forgets about people baking in more warmer places. That’s why I ended up with my first attempt sinking in the middle and very tall on the edges (nothing that bothers my husband or I), but it definitely did not look like the pictures on johns Instagram. The second time I baked this I melted the butter with less heat so there’s a little of minuscule solid butter particles and at the end I put te batter in the fridge por 20 min so the batter wasn’t as runny or melted (more firm, just like the one in the video) . Still the cookie bar sunk a little but not as much as the first attempt

[@djpawan]

Mine sunk too. Ended up delicious albiet buttery batter instead though.

[@大福もち-m2m]

Mine sunk as well. However, the inside was like undercooked so i ended up pop into the oven for few times. Not sure how it should be though 🤔

[@Lightyourboatonfire]

Sunken middle as well. Edit: I live in Connecticut so it’s cold here presently. Maybe my eggs were too cold and butter too hot.

[@DirtyDiesel29]

ditto, middle sunk also. edges were completely cooked and middle undercooked. Think I might just use a little less batter next time I try it

[@leahrowe847]

He said room temp eggs... are you guys allowing your eggs to come to temp b4 starting your recipe?

I had same issue and I am not high altitude. I had to stick in the oven for a much longer time after cutting and still didn't seem as cooked through as would have liked (and I usually like undercooked/soft cookies). I think next time I would use my 9x9 pan so they'd be thinner to cook through. I would probably also use a little less chocolate chips because I would like to taste the cookie part a bit mire. Otherwise tasty easy recipe.

This is the first recipe from preppy kitchen that I did not like . We measured everything on a scale, and yet the final product tasted sickly sweet, doughy, and oily.

[@RisasKitchen]

Hi, I’m a chef, dessert bars do tend to be quite sweet, however you can temper the sweetness by adding a bit more salt, reducing the overall sugar content by maybe 1/4 - 1/3 (this will make them more fudgy which you can alter by adding a little more flour, maybe 1/4 - 1/3 again. Which will make them more cakey). I hope this helps, but just fiddle with the recipe and change I to suit your tastes. Please let me know if this helps.

These look amazing! I might make these and swap out the chocolate chips for mini eggs for next weekend 😋

I loooved this recipe! Will definitely be making it again. I did have one issue. My edges were very risen compared to the center. I noticed yours dipped a little in the middle, but mine was very significant! I thought maybe it could be my flour measurement. I fluffed with spoon and added to my measuring cup but maybe i should be more gentle?? Suggestions?

Trust me, it's not you. It's a flawed recipe. The next time I want chocolate chip cookie bars, I'll use a recipe from a trusted source like Nestle, etc.
