Tips From My Kitchen

• Don’t overbake the cookie bars – they should be lightly golden brown and still soft in the centre.
• Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavour.
• Press the dough into the baking tray evenly to ensure that the cookie bars are uniform in size.
• Let the cookie bars cool completely before cutting them into bars – this will help them hold their shape.
• Experiment with different types of chocolate chips or add-ins, such as chopped nuts or dried fruit, to create a unique flavour combination.
