SALTED CARAMEL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE BARS

These super decadent and incredibly delicious cookie bars are extremely easy to make. Crumbly, buttery chocolate chip cookie dough is paired perfectly with luscious salted caramel, and the extra melted chocolate and chocolate chips round off what just might be your next favourite dessert. NOTE: In making these cookie bars, I have used a 8.5 x 7.5 " baking tray 2 inches deep. For baking trays of different dimensions, the ingredients amounts, and possibly the baking time, need to be adjusted.
