Description

These Delightful Raspberry and Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars combine the tartness of fresh raspberries with the sweetness of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a soft, buttery cookie base. Perfectly baked to a golden brown, these bars offer a sweet treat that is both fruity and chocolaty, ideal for snacking or dessert.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the bars after baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the room temperature unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat the eggs into the creamed mixture one at a time to incorporate them fully, then add the vanilla extract and mix well to combine.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to distribute the leavening agents and salt evenly.
  5. Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. It’s important not to overmix to keep the bars tender.
  6. Fold in Raspberries and Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the fresh raspberries and semi-sweet chocolate chips, taking care not to crush the berries so they retain their shape and juiciness.
  7. Bake the Cookie Bars: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out gently. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 servings. This cooling period helps the bars set for clean slices.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe raspberries for the best flavor and texture. Frozen raspberries may add extra moisture and affect the final texture.
  • Be gentle when folding in the raspberries to avoid crushing them and turning the batter pink.
  • If you prefer, substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate chips according to your taste.
  • Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier creaming with sugars and better texture.
  • Make sure not to overbake to keep bars soft and moist inside.
