Step-by-Step Guide: Crafting Your Multi-Flavor Cookie Bars

Making these impressive cookie bars is surprisingly simple. Follow these steps to create your multi-flavor masterpiece:

1. Preparing the Perfect Cookie Dough:

• Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a 12″ x 17″ sheet pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set it aside.
• In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer), cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and dark brown sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in the large eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract until just combined.
• With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until the ingredients are just combined and a soft cookie dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

2. Infusing Each Flavor:

• Divide the prepared cookie dough into six equal portions. For precision, each portion should be approximately 3/4 cup.
• Place the specific flavor ingredients (chocolate chips, cinnamon sugar, peanut butter, etc.) into six separate small bowls.
• Add one portion of cookie dough to each flavor bowl.
• Gently mix each dough portion with its respective flavor ingredients until well combined. For some flavors like snickerdoodle, oatmeal raisin, and chocolate chocolate chip, using your hands might be easier to ensure the dry ingredients are fully incorporated into the dough.

3. Arranging on the Sheet Pan:

• Place each ball of flavored cookie dough into its designated sixth of the prepared 12″ x 17″ sheet pan.
• Using your hands, gently and evenly press each cookie dough portion to fill its section of the pan. Ensure that each dough section is pressed firmly against its neighbors, forming a single, cohesive cookie bar slab that covers the entire sheet pan.

4. The Art of Garnishing:

For an enhanced presentation and to clearly distinguish each flavor, I love to garnish the cookie bars before baking. This step is optional but highly recommended for a professional and appetizing finish!

• Chocolate Chip: Lightly press a few extra chocolate chips onto the surface of this section.
• Snickerdoodle: Sprinkle a generous amount of cinnamon sugar over the snickerdoodle dough.
• Peanut Butter: Create the classic crisscross pattern by gently pressing a fork into the top of the peanut butter dough.
• White Chocolate Macadamia Nut: Arrange a few white chocolate chips and macadamia nut pieces on top.
• Oatmeal Raisin: Press a few plump raisins into the surface of the oatmeal dough.
• Chocolate Chocolate Chip: Add a final flourish of chocolate chips to this rich, dark section.

Baking to Golden Perfection and Serving Your Creation

Now, it’s time for the magic to happen in the oven! Bake your sheet pan cookie bars for approximately 20 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through to ensure even baking. The goal is a beautifully golden-brown finish around the edges, with a center that remains slightly soft for that perfect chewy texture. To test for doneness, a toothpick inserted into the center of any cookie bar should come out clean. Remember, it’s best to slightly under-bake for maximum chewiness, so keep a close eye on them!

Once baked, resist the urge to cut into them immediately! Allow the cookie bars to cool on the sheet pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This cooling period is crucial as it allows the bars to set and makes for cleaner cuts. We typically cut each flavor section into nine squares, yielding a total of 54 small, delightful cookie bars. If you’re hosting a party and want guests to try multiple flavors, feel free to cut them even smaller.

Frequently Asked Questions About 6-in-1 Sheet Pan Cookie Bars

We know you might have questions about making these incredible cookie bars, so here are some common inquiries and their answers:

Can I use different flavors?

Absolutely! The beauty of this recipe is its flexibility. Feel free to swap out any of the six suggested flavors for your own favorites. Consider options like M&M’s, butterscotch chips, sprinkles, or even different types of nuts. Just ensure your additions are proportionate to the dough amount for the best texture.

How long do these cookie bars last?

Stored in an airtight container at room temperature, these cookie bars will stay fresh and delicious for 3-4 days. For optimal freshness, you might want to layer parchment paper between the bars if stacking them.

Can I freeze the dough or baked bars?

Yes, both the dough and baked bars freeze well! For the dough, prepare each flavored portion, form it into a small block, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and then place in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before pressing into the sheet pan and baking. Baked and cooled bars can also be frozen in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or warm briefly in the oven for a freshly baked taste.

What size sheet pan do I need?

This recipe is designed for a standard 12″ x 17″ sheet pan, also known as a half-sheet pan. Using a different size might affect baking time and thickness, so adjust accordingly.

8. Bake for 20 minutes, rotating pan halfway through, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cookies comes out clean. Try not to over-bake them if you want them to be chewy.
