Soft and chewy cookie bars filled with chocolate chips. These easy chewy cookie bars are made with a box of vanilla pudding mix. There is no pudding taste in the cookie bars, but it gives them a more soft and chewy texture. Everyone will love these easy cookie bars for just about any occasion.
The cookie dough is made similar to a classic chocolate chip cookie dough, except with the addition of dry vanilla pudding mix whisked into the flour mixture. Once the cookie dough is prepared, press it evenly into a greased square baking dish. Bake until the center comes out clean with a toothpick. Let cool completely before cutting into bars and serving.
