Delish!

I love sugar!

This sugar craving must end somewhere! Starting last night I had a piece of delectable French silk pie. The chocolate in it hit every taste bud on my tongue. At my small group it was a dream night for me. 4 desserts and chips & salsa-ate em all. This morning: crepes, fresh pineapple, more pie, and homemade bread. This afternoon, cookies, old fashioned licorice, and mint chip ice cream with peanuts. How'm I doin? Think I'll pop that vitamin about now....

Yum!

This recipe is delish! I couldn't keep my hands of these yummers! They are exactly what they claim to be! Thick & Chewy! Yum!
(I did not follow the tinfoil bit)

Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

2 1/8 cups (10 1/2 ounces) all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
12 tablespoons butter (1 1/2 sticks), melted and cooled slightly
1 cup (7 ounces) light brown sugar
1/2 (3 1/2 ounces) cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Adjust the oven rack to lower-middle position.
Line a 9X13-inch baking pan with foil, letting the excess hang over the edges of the pan by about 1 inch so you can grab those edges and pull the brownies from the pan after they have baked. Spray the foil-lined pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Mix the flour, salt, and baking soda together in medium bowl; set aside. Whisk the melted butter and sugars in a large bowl until combined. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and mix well.
Using a rubber spatula, fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined; do not overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips and turn the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with the spatula.
Bake until the top of the bars is light golden brown, slightly firm to the touch, and edges start pulling away from sides of pan, 24-28 minutes. Cool on a wire rack to room temperature.
Remove the bars from the pan by lifting the foil overhang and transfer them to a cutting board. Cut into 2-inch squares and serve.
