Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks / 227 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 ½ cups (300 g) brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 ¼ cups (282 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups (364 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 jar (11 ounces) hot fudge, warm
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- To a large bowl, add butter, brown sugar, and vanilla. Using a hand-held mixer, cream ingredients until they are light and fluffy. Add in eggs, mixing until completely incorporated.
- Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix at low speed until combined.
- Mix in the chocolate chips.
- Press half of the cookie dough into the prepared baking dish in an even layer. Set the remaining cookie dough aside.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Carefully remove the cookie bars from the oven and place on a heat-safe surface.
- Pour the warmed hot fudge over the bars, making sure to get it into every nook and cranny.
- Using the remaining cookie dough, form small discs and place them over the top of the fudge. It is okay if there is some fudge showing.
- Bake for an additional 20-22 minutes, or until the fudge is bubbling and the cookie is golden brown.
- Allow bars to cool to room temperature (about 1 ½ hours) before cutting and serving.
