When I saw these on My Kitchen Cafe on Tuesday I knew I had to make them immediately, if not sooner. I actually made them that night - I wasn't kidding! They are the BEST chocolate chip cookie bar I've ever had and I've had a few. They really are thick and chewy and completely delicious. My son ate almost the whole pan in one day (with a little help from his mother maybe).
I made another batch tonight for my work's "Olympic Party" tomorrow. Hopefully there will be some left for me to take tomorrow morning! These cookie bars are seriously scrumptious and incredibly addictive. Have fun trying to eat just one....
Enjoy!

2 cups plus 2 T of all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks), melted and cooled slightly
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Heat oven to 325 degrees. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position. Line a 13 by 9-inch baking pan with foil, allowing the foil to overhang the ends of the pan to make it easier to lift the bars out after they're baked. Spray foil-lined pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Mix the flour, salt, and baking soda together in medium bowl; set aside.
Mix melted butter and both sugars in medium large bowl until combined. Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and mix well. With a rubber spatula, fold dry ingredients into egg mixture until just combined; do not overmix. Fold in chips and turn batter into prepared pan, smoothing top with spatula.
Bake until top is light golden brown, slightly firm to the touch, and edges start pulling away from sides of pan, 27 to 30 minutes. Cool on wire rack to room temperature. Remove bars from pan by lifting foil overhang and transfer to cutting board. Cut into 2-inch squares and serve.
Makes 24.
