Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 bars
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the bars later.
- In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the two large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bars tough.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Spread half of the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan, pressing it down gently to form an even layer.
- Using a spoon or spatula, spread the marshmallow fluff over the layer of cookie dough, making sure to cover it completely.
- Take the remaining cookie dough and drop spoonfuls over the marshmallow fluff. Use a spatula to gently spread it out to cover the fluff as much as possible. It’s okay if some marshmallow fluff peeks through.
- Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then, lift the bars out using the parchment paper (if used) and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut the cookie bars into 12 squares. Serve and enjoy your delicious Fluffernutter Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars!
Tips
- Use room temperature butter and eggs for the smoothest, most consistent dough texture.
- Don't overmix the batter - this can lead to tough, dense bars instead of soft, chewy ones.
- For clean, perfect cuts, let the bars cool completely before slicing.
- Line your baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
- For extra indulgence, try using a mix of milk and dark chocolate chips.
- Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
- For best results, use fresh marshmallow fluff to ensure maximum gooeyness.
