Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Line an 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Spray lightly with non-stick spray and set aside.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, then continue to cook it, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Keep an eye here, you don't want burnt butter! Remove from heat and scrape the butter into a large heat proof mixing bowl.

- Using a rubber spatula, add in the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt, mixing until just combined. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, or until the edges are firm and golden. Press extra chocolate chips on top of the warm blondies, if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease well a 9" x 13" baking pan.
- In mixer bowl, cream together the butter and the sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the water, eggs, oil and vanilla extract; mix well. Add in the cake mix and mix well. Fold in the nuts and chocolate chips. Spread evenly into prepare pan.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until edges are golden and toothpick tests clean in middle.
- Cool completely before cutting into squares.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate chips. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your bars. Look for chocolate chips that are made with real cocoa butter and have a high cacao content.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bars tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the bars hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the bars until they are just set. Overbaking will make the bars dry and crumbly. The bars are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from falling apart.
Conclusion:
Chocolate chip bars are a classic dessert that everyone loves. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make chocolate chip bars that are perfect for any occasion.
