Steps:
- Position the rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
- Put the butter in a microwave-safe bowl, cover and microwave on medium power until melted. Alternatively melt the butter in a small saucepan. Brush some butter on the inside of a 9-by-13-inch pan and cool the remaining butter slightly. Whisk the remaining cooled butter, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth.
- Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt in another bowl. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a spoon or spatula, taking care not to over mix. The batter should be thick and all of the flour mixture should be fully incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake until the edges are browned and the center is completely set, about 30 minutes. Cool completely, at least one hour, cut into 24 pieces and serve.

Tips:
- Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature before you start baking. This will help the cookies spread evenly and bake properly.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. Underbaked cookies will be soft and gooey, while overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting or decorating them. This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from sliding off the cookies.
Conclusion:
Chocolate chip bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your chocolate chip bars turn out perfect every time. So what are you waiting for? Preheat your oven and get baking!
