My family is crazy about these dessert bars… so crazy that we couldn’t stop eating them.  They’re ooey and gooey and everything you’d ever want in a dessert.  I ended up sending most of the batch these Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars to my son’s lacrosse team party.  The platter came home empty!

This recipe comes from The Cookies and Cups Cookbook: 125+ sweet & savory recipes reminding you to always eat dessert first by Shelly Jaronsky.  If you love to bake, you need this one on your cookbook shelf!!  Shelly has a very popular baking blog- CookiesAndCups.com… so it’s a natural transition for her to come out with a baking cookbook.   Here are a few recipes I’ve tagged to make from this book:  Vanilla Bean Snickerdoodles, Banana Bread Pancakes, Brown Sugar Cinnamon Swirl Bread, Pound Cake Cookies, Icy Lemon Cake, Hot Fudge Sundae Cake, Marshmallow Buttercream, Payday Pie, and Marble Sheet Cake.  Shelly also includes a few dinner recipes in the final chapter of the book (her family’s favorites… such as King Ranch Mac and Cheese and Garlic Bread Pasta).  I love this book!

Yes, these bars are that decadent and gooey.  I’m a caramel-lover myself, so these are like the perfect dreamy dessert for me.

There’s a bit of flaked sea salt on top- which happens to be a very good idea.  It gives these bars a little bit of a salty kick, and it balances out the sweet. You must try these Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars for your next occasion worthy of them. Everyone will love you. Enjoy!
