Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

Today was one of those days. You know what I am talking about, a day where there was a perfect storm of boredom and availability of supplies that somehow results in the creation of brownies AND chocolate chip bar cookies. My hands just sort of acted on their own, honest! Anyway, as a word of advice, the new flavor of Ghirardelli brownie (Dark Chocolate) is a tiny bit orgasmic (no photo, those went too fast). But these chocolate chip bar cookies are chewy, decadent, and made my weekend feel extra special. Try them with a dusting of flaky sea salt (like me) or some chopped pecans (like future me).

P.S. I'm trying out a new cooking section of the site. I hope you all enjoy it, not sure where it's headed!
