I absolutely love this recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars! I have missed having an ooey gooey, moist cookie bar recipe to turn to. This recipe lasted only 2 days at my home and I made it in a 15 x 10.5 inch baking pan. I have to confess there are only 2 of us here so you know we ate quite a lot in only 2 days…particularly my NON Gluten-free husband. He adores these! I used a recipe from The Holiday Kosher Baker Traditional & Contemporary Holiday Desserts by Paula Shoyer. I have permission from the author to post this recipe.

This is the first time I have baked with Potato Starch and I was pleasantly surprised! I made very few changes to this recipe. Since it calls for a 9 x 13 inch pan and I only had available a 15x 10.5 inch pan, I made 1 & 1/2 times the recipe. *NOTE: The recipe given below is for a 9 x 13 inch pan.
Makes 24 2-inch (5-cm) square bars or 39 1 X 3-inch (2.5 x 8-cm) bars. My comment would be, to make sure and use parchment paper in the bottom of your baking dish regardless if you use grease. It will definitely help keep the bottom from browning too much as the author says. This is a very EASY recipe.
I found the batter to be very thick, almost like a bread dough. I patted it into my greased pan because I didn’t have parchment paper to use. I will use parchment paper next time just to have lighter crust bottom. This recipe is a delicious, very easy and very yummy, moist and rich tasting cookie bar as you can see from my photo. Enjoy!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars Recipe, Gluten-Free & Dairy- Free
Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar 440g. organic
- 2 large eggs organic
- 1 cup Safflower oil plus extra for Greasing pan

- 3¼ cups ground almonds 390g. I used Bob's Red Mill Almond meal/flour

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease the bottom And sides of a 13 x 9 inch (23 x 33-cm) pan. **Press in a piece of parchment paper that is big enough to cover the bottom and sides of the pan - I also highly recommend this step with theparchment paper, then Grease the top and sides of the parchment. Set it aside.
- Place the sugar, eggs, oil, and vanilla sugar into a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until combined.
- Add the ground almonds and potato starch and mix well.
- Add the chocolate chips and mix to distribute.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan and use a spatula to spread it evenly.
- Bake for 35 minutes, or until the edges are brown, or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs on it.
- Let cool. Lift out the parchment and then cut into squares or bars.

Hi Life with Lorelai! these are so yummy.
these sound so delicious!
Wow. These look so soft, fluffy, and delicious! Definitely giving this a try. I’ll sub the almond flour for hazelnut and hope it turns out, this poor soul can’t have almonds. 🙁
I would think hazelnut instead of almond would be just fine!
This recipe makes my mouth water. It will make a nice addition to our Seder dinner. Thanks for the recipe.
Your welcome Charlene! They are so moist and delicious. Glad I could help with your Seder!
I can see why this didn’t last long in your house! It sounds great except it’s too much sugar for us.
Barrie you can always reduce the sugar or use a sugar substitute 🙂
