Aunt Betty’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

The first chocolate chip cookie was invented by Ruth Graves Wakefield in 1938 when she ran out of baker’s chocolate and substituted it with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate, expecting it to melt and create chocolate cookies. Instead, the chocolate chips held their shape and the chocolate chip cookie was born!
