What is difference between a cookie vs cookie bars?
Cookies are made with scooped soft dough. While cookie bars or bar cookeis are made with batter or stiff dough which poured or pressed into the baking dish. Then baked cooled and cut it into various shapes such as bars, squares, or diamonds.
Cookie bars differ from cookies is that they can be cake -like or chewy textures. Also they can be either single-layred or differnt layer ones.
Just like cookies you can make cookie bars with various additions.
Since it is October I decided to make muffins with pumpkin. My little guy got upset because the muffins lack his favorite chocolate chips. Then he told me “mama you need to make something with chocolate chips, muffin is also okay but only with chocolate chips no pumpkin. Thus he decide my next bake, so I made Mocha Chocolate chip cookies bars with his favorite chocolate chips and Imperial Sugar’s granulated sugar and Light brown sugar part of #choctoberfest .
How to make this Mocha Chocolate Chip Cookie bars?
You need following ingredients to make Mocha Chocolate chip cookies bars,
Unbleached all purpose flour
Cornstarch : Give the softness to the cookies
Unsalted butter : if you are using salted butter skip salt
Chocoalte chips : I used semi-sweet chocoalte chips you can use your favorite chocolate chips
Instant coffee granules : I use the one which you can make esspresso.
Vanilla extract
Eggs
Salt
Sugar : You need to use both granulated sugar and light brown sugar
This Mocha chocolate chip cookie bars are easy as well as not overly sweetened, because I used 75% brown sugar and 25% regular sugar. Kids will love it. I love to have coffee flavor with chocolate because they always have perfect marriage. Cookie bars filled with chocolate chips and a hint of mocha is a good treat for your family and friends.
Do you know Imperial sugar is celebrating 175 years anniversary? I trust them in my bakes, cooking they help me to get perfect bake every time. Imperial Sugar products include granulated sugar, light and dark brown sugar, free-flowing sugar, powdered sugar, sugar shakers and Steviacane® (Stevia + sugar blend). Imperial Sugar products are 100% pure cane sugar, non-GMO and provide consistently delicious results.
These cookies are SO good! With just enough coffee flavor! I used powdered instant espresso, as opposed to powdered instant coffee, so I could use less and still get a strong enough flavor. It’s dissolved in a very small amount of water so it thickens the water a bit as it dissolves. You don’t want to add too much liquid to the dough, or your dough will spread too much when baking, use only 1 tablespoon of hot water.
Make it and enjoy with cup of milk, you will love it I can assure.

Using the espresso powder really elevates the flavor in these. I love that you did them as a bar rather than a traditional cookie so you can slice them a little extra large or small depending on what you're in the mood for.
