FAQS

  1. Can I use unsalted butter instead of salted butter?

    Yes, you can use unsalted butter. Just add a pinch of salt to the dry ingredients to balance the flavors.

  2. Can I substitute the white chocolate chips?

    Yes, you can use any type of chocolate chips you prefer, such as dark chocolate or peanut butter chips.

  3. How do I store the chocolate chip cookie bars?

    Store the cooled cookie bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

  4. Can I freeze the cookie bars?

    Yes, you can freeze the baked cookie bars. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.

  5. What if I don't have a 10x10 inch baking tray?

    You can use a slightly different size tray, but be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly. A larger tray will result in thinner bars and require less baking time, while a smaller tray will result in thicker bars and require more baking time.
