What’s a cookie bar? They’re made with dough just like typical cookies, but that’s pressed into a 13×9 or sheet pan, baked, and cut into squares. They’re denser than a cake and take cookies to the next level. Magic cookie bars may be the most popular. But you can turn chocolate chip, sugar, and many other types of cookies into a bar cookie. Easy to make, here are 15 of our favorite cookie bar recipes.

Chocochip Gooey Treats
"Have mercy, this is so good! This recipe is different from other gooey treat recipes you may have seen because I use a whole bag of chocolate chips. You might want to have the recipe handy if you share it with anyone because they will probably ask for it." - Tere
Cookies and Cream Blondies
"All of the flavours of cookies and cream in amazing bars with huge chunks of cookies and chocolate!" - Cookie Bars
Chocolate In-Between Bars

Chocolate Rainbow Bars
"Both my mom and dad worked and I was entrusted with watching my younger brothers; not a fun job. To keep them in line, I'd tell them if they were good, I'd make this recipe. It didn't always work (them being good) but the cookies never lasted too long." - Janice
Frosted Sugar Cookie Bars
"Frosted Sugar Cookie Bars have a super soft cookie base with a luxuriously thick and creamy buttercream frosting on top!" - Paula

Chewy Brown Sugar Bars
"These brown sugar bars are quite the sweet treat. They're a cross between a blondie and a praline. They have a chewy bite with a delightful pecan crunch." - The Kitchen Crew
Graham Cracker Cookie Bars
"Graham Cracker Cookie Bars, with or without coconut, has a graham cracker crust that topped with layers of ingredients. The ingredients are held together by sweetened condensed milk that turns into caramel when baked." - Paula
Butterscotch Bar Cookies
"My family began making these bar cookies in the 1960s. They soon became a family favorite. Cooking the butter and brown sugar until bubbly gives them a special butterscotch flavor." - Ruth Ann
Reese's Peanut Butter Cookie Bar
"With a chewy cookie layer, the smooth and creamy middle layer, and then the layer of melted chocolate, we couldn't get enough of these. To make them pretty, we sprinkled chopped Reese's Peanut Butter cups over the chocolate which just added to the peanut butter flavor (but that's optional)." - The Kitchen Crew

"Soft and tender chocolate chip cookie bars filled with ooey gooey caramel!" - Kevin
