Have you ever seen those cookie stores in the mall? You know, the ones who sell the pizza size cookies? I have always wondered how they make those.
Whenever I have tried at home the edges get cooked until they are hard and the center is still under done.
This recipe reminds me of the giant cookies.
The brown sugar gives the bars a nice color and a rich flavor.
The cookies were the perfect combination of soft and crisp.
The outer edges were a little crisp, but not too crisp.
The insides were gooey and soft.
The chocolate chips melted in your mouth and were smooth and creamy.
Really a delicious dessert!
