Irresistible Triple Pudding Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

Ingredients

- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant butterscotch pudding mix
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 package (3.4 oz) cheesecake-flavored instant pudding mix
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare the Baking Pan:
Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy bar removal.

3. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and cornstarch until well combined. Set aside.

4. Cream Butter and Sugar:
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.

5. Add Pudding Mixes:
Gradually add the instant vanilla pudding mix, butterscotch pudding mix, and cheesecake-flavored instant pudding mix to the butter mixture. Beat on medium speed until the pudding mixes are fully incorporated.

6. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Slowly add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

7. Fold in Chips:
Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and white chocolate chips using a rubber spatula.

8. Spread Batter into Pan:
Spread the cookie dough evenly in the prepared baking pan. Use the spatula to smooth the top.

9. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.

10. Cool and Slice:
Allow the cookie bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift the dessert from the pan and slice into bars.
