These congo bars are soft and chewy chocolate chip cookie bars with a gooey texture! This crowd-pleasing classic dessert is easy to make using only one bowl and one pan.
Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a 12x14 pan (9x13 will work too, they'll just be a little thicker) with parchment paper or foil. Cream butter and sugar together in a large bowl until creamy. Then add in eggs and vanilla and mix just until combined.
Next mix the baking powder and salt with 1 cup of flour. Pour into the butter mixture and stir in then add the rest of the flour. Mix just until combined. Then fold in chocolate chips.
Press dough into pan with flour on your hands. Bake for 25-35 minutes or until lightly browned and toothpick comes out clean. The cookie bars should be soft in the center.
Allow bars to cool slightly and then slice into bars.
