We love all things cookie. Edible cookie dough, classic chocolate chip cookies, caramel cookie bars, the list goes on and on. Just search “cookie” on our site and you’ll see what we’re talking about.
Which is why it’s about time for a classic chocolate chip cookie bar recipe to make an appearance on our blog.

These classic cookie bars are easy to make and delicious for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups (281 g) all-purpose flour (measured correctly)*
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp (5 g) cornstarch
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks [169 g]) vegan buttery sticks, slightly softened*
- 1/3 cup (73 g) packed light brown sugar
- 3/4 cup (150 g) sugar
- 3 tbsp (45 ml) non-dairy milk
- 2 tsp (10 ml) pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cup (212 g) vegan chocolate chips, separated
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Grease a 9"×13" pan and set aside.
- Add the flour, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch to medium mixing bowl and whisk until combined.
- Add the butter, sugars, milk, and vanilla to a large mixing bowl. Beat until combined.
- Add the dry mixture to the wet and mix until combined.
- Fold in 1 cup chocolate chips.
- Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared pan. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips and gently press in.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean or with just crumbs.
- Allow to cool slightly and slice into 24 bars.
Notes
- Measure your flour using this method or your bars may turn out dry and crumbly.
- You should use vegan buttery sticks (like Earth Balance) in this recipe rather than butter out of a tub. For the best consistency, bring your butter out 30 minutes to an hour before using.
Please include the metric measurements, googling is very discouraging. Other sites have them by default. I’ll just use them instead. Thank you for considering it!
I’m 8 months pregnant and have been craving chocolate chip cookie bars! So when this recipe popped up on my Instagram, I was thrilled. They turned out great, but I did add about 1/2 cup more chocolate chips and I baked them for 10 minutes longer.
So happy to hear you loved this recipe, Colleen! Thanks for the kind review.
Can we replace oat flour with the all purpose flour? If not, do you have a substitution for the all purpose flour?
These are delicious. I wouldn’t change anything.
Wow, these are amazing! I’ve made them twice now, and both times they haven’t failed to delight me and my family. I normally don’t comment, but these were too nice not to. Thank you so much for all the amazing recipes.

My batter turned out a little crumbly- I did measure my flour correctly but did use GF flour so I don’t know if that contributed to it. They still taste good though! Next time I would probably add a little more milk.
