I started making this version of cookie when I was informed by my then-young daughter that I was responsible for bringing 3 dozen home-made cookies to the school. This was at breakfast the morning they were due. That's the beauty of this recipe. Find out at breakfast, mix them up, put in the oven, slice and take your cookies (everyone will be more impressed when they are still warm) to your event in about 45 minutes. (Or make these when you want to avoid heating the house or all the standing as you make individual cookies.)
Bar cookies can be made with any recipe, but the standard 2-3 dozen cookie recipe needs to be doubled! I like chocolate chip - a traditional cookie favored by so many. I skip the nuts these days due to the unknown of food allergy sufferers.
What you need:
1 cup butter
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup (firmly packed) brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
12 ounce package of semi-sweet chocolate chips
Cream and mix the first 5 listed ingredients well. Slowly add the dry ingredients. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
Grease a jelly roll pan lightly with butter (you can use what is left on the butter wrappers). Spread the dough into the pan. It requires a bit of work to get the dough to the edges but the thinner layer bakes quicker. 
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 25-30 mintues. Check earlier. You want a golden top but a slightly moist center. Cut the cookies into approximately 1" squares. Transport in a wax paper lined box.
