Gooey Cookie Bars (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Base and Fillings

01 - 2 large eggs
02 - 1 cup brown sugar, packed
03 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
05 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
06 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
07 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
08 - 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
09 - 2 cups marshmallow creme
10 - 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

→ Topping

11 - 2 tablespoons butter or coconut oil
12 - 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

# Instructions:

01 - Set your oven to 175°C to heat up. Grease a 9x13-inch pan lightly and keep it aside for later.
02 - Whip the butter, both sugars, and vanilla together until it's fluffy in texture.
03 - Mix in the eggs one at a time, making sure they're well blended before adding the next.
04 - Take another bowl to stir the flour, baking soda, and salt together. Slowly mix it into the wet stuff.
05 - Gently fold the chocolate chips into the dough and spread it evenly in your prepared baking dish.
06 - Pop it in the oven and bake for about 20–25 minutes. The edges should turn golden. Let it cool fully after taking it out.
07 - Spread the marshmallow creme across the base evenly after it has cooled.
08 - Using a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the butter or coconut oil in short bursts. Stir until smooth in between.
09 - Pour the melted chocolate over the marshmallow layer and even it out with a spatula.
10 - Leave the dish to set at room temperature or chill it so the chocolate hardens. Slice into squares when ready to eat.

# Notes:

01 - Store leftovers in a sealed container for up to 5 days. Keep it in the fridge if you want a firm texture.
