These Kitchen Sink Cookie Bars are the perfect combination of sweet and salty!

Background: Kitchen Sink Cookie Bars are everything you love about our Kitchen Sink Cookies, but take half the time. The sweet and salty combo is delicious! Chocolate Chips, pretzels, and toffee pieces balanced with sea salt make for a yummy little treat. If you are short on time, this is the perfect recipe for you. It saves you from scooping and shaping each individual cookie, but still get your cookie fix – a win, win! We love a good, simple dessert recipe and this one is a keeper.

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer with a large bowl, beat the butter and sugars together. Mix in the eggs and the vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, just until combined.
  4. Fold in the 3/4 of the chocolate chips, toffee pieces, and pretzel pieces, reserving some to top the bars with.
  5. Press the dough into the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining chocolate chips, toffee, and pretzels. Press down slightly to set them into the dough.
  6. Bake for 24-28 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  7. Allow to cool completely before cutting them into bars.
