These Chocolate Chip Cookie bars are so easy and fun to make. You make a simple chocolate chip cookie dough with brown butter and then of course add some festive sprinkles and m&ms to make them themed.

Then instead of rolling them into cookies, you press them into a baking dish lined with parchment paper making it even easier!! Then you cut these cookies into bars (like you brownies!!) share and enjoy!! These would be so easy to bring along with you to share, because they are in bar form.

What should I make these for?

Since these halloween cookie bars are in bar form and easy to transfer and bring along with you, they would honestly be good for any event. You could bring them to a fall party, family get together or even to share at work or school. They would also be perfect to share with friends and neighbors.

You could also make these chocolate chunk cookie bars with your kids for a fun fall activity or a cute date night in with your love or best friends. It’s the perfect weeknight indulgence when you are in need of a sweet treat.

Fall baking is one of my favorite things ever. Just the fact that we have the ability to make our homes smell like Cinnabon is just the best thing ever. Every season has something special about it. For Autumn, the comforting cozy feelings it gives is one quality I appreciate most.

Baking season is literally the best because it just sparks the love of baking in so many people. So, making recipes for anyone to enjoy is such a pleasure. Seeing you guys make and enjoy my recipes is so so special. Who doesn’t love a warm and cozy fall recipe?

This recipe is pumpkin free, so those of you who are not a fan of pumpkin recipes, this recipe is for you. I love pumpkin and have lots of pumpkin recipes on my blog, but I like sharing other fall flavor recipes as well. Here are a few of my favorite fall recipes that don’t have pumpkin:

• Peach Crisp
• Maple Oatmeal Cream Pies
• Apple Butter Pancakes
• Brown Sugar Cinnamon Poptarts
• Chewy Spice Cookies

Like I mentioned before, baking during the fall is one of my favorite things ever and I love making recipes for everyone’s taste buds. I am so thankful that baking season is upon us and that you are here and ready to bake.

What is Brown Butter & How Do You Make It?

Basically brown butter is just butter that’s been cooked on the stove. It foams up and the milk solids caramelize giving it it’s delicious deep nutty flavor. It takes a few quick minutes on the stove and the smell is like no other. Let’s just say it’s amazing and it’s a GAME CHANGER when baking. It’s hard to go back once you make it a few times and super simple to make so the extra step is optional but 100% worth it.

You can still make this recipe without using brown butter it just won’t have the nutty flavor but will still be delicious. If you also want the texture to be the same, I would use melted butter because the consistency of brown butter and melted will be the most similar.

Be careful not to walk away as it could burn or overflow when it foams. I have a quick video on how to make brown butter- HERE!! It takes just a few minutes to make but this video is a visual way to see if that helps you out!!

I love creating a list of all the ingredients you will need to make my recipe on the post before the recipe. That way you can clearly see everything you’ll need and what you may need to go grab at the store to make them.
