I want a piece please!! That melted chocolate is making me hungry. I could definitely have one of these right now, yum! Can’t wait to try them. Cheers

These cookie bars look soooo delicious!!
I baked these today. The flavor of the bars is very good. However, they did not bake up very well. I used the correct size metal pan. The outside was golden, edges were very brown. The toothpick came out clean. I let them cool. When I cut into them, the layer under the top of the bar was extremely undercooked & gooey. If I had left them in longer, the outside would have burned. 🙁
Hi Heather, so sorry that the bars didn’t work out. Once they completely cooled off after a few hours, were they still too soft on the inside? They do firm up a bit, once they cool completely. And to confirm, your pan was 9 by 9, correct, not 8 by 8?
To troubleshoot, was the consistency of your batter similar to the one in the pictures above? How long did you end up baking them for?
It sounds like you need to cook them a bit longer, the edges in the pictures are also a bit more brown than the rest of the bars. But if the edges became very brown, you may need to lower the temperature a bit, and bake the bars a bit longer.
Let us know if you try making them again!
Oh, the flavor was delicious. I think next time I will cover them with foil and bake longer. I’d bake them again. The batter looked just like your photos. I used a 9×9 pan. The were definitely much less doughy after cooling for a day. Thank you for your reply. 🙂
