Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars with Ganache Topping
Chocolate chip bar cookies topped with chocolate ganache.
Equipment
- 9x13 baking pan
Ingredients
- ¾ cup granulated sugar (150g)
- ¾ cup dark brown sugar (165g)
- 16 tbsp. unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 2¼ cups all purpose flour (270g)
- 1 tsp. each baking soda and salt
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup m&m candies, for decorating (optional)
For the Chocolate Ganache:
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp. light corn syrup
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Line a 9x13 pan with parchment paper, with some paper hanging over the ends.
- Cream together the butter and sugars, just until they're combined.
- Add the vanilla and eggs, and beat until just combined.
- Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt and add it to the butter mixture. Beat until just combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Bake the cookies on the middle rack until the middle looks set and no longer jiggly, about 23 minutes.
- Let the cookies cool on a wire rack. Remove the cookies by lifting them out by the parchment paper.
- To make the ganache: In a three quart saucepan, heat the cream and corn syrup until hot, but not simmering. Remove from the heat and stir in the chips. Stir until they're completely melted and smooth.
- Spread the ganache all over the cookies and let set about five minutes. Decorate with M&Ms.
