The chocolate chip sticks you love all year round now have a rival: this easy Pesach version.
A Note from BCP: All year round, our 9×13 chocolate chip sticks are super popular. They take literally minutes to make and loved by all. When Chantzy Weinstein told us that Faigy Murray made a Pesach chocolate chip stick that was the best of the best, we knew it deserved to be shared with the world over here.
What’s the difference between these and our Pesach Chocolate Chip Squares? The squares are softer, more like a blondie, and almond-flour based. These sticks are crispier and more like a cookie, that’s due to the potato starch. – BCP
Now, let’s hear from Faigy:
I am all for making recipes quick and easy–and then taking those recipes and making them even easier. When it comes to Pesach desserts, I stick to what my family likes and that’s simple but delicious baked goods. Every year, I make batches and batches of chocolate chip cookies. Last year, as I was planning my menu, while I was very much looking forward to all my cooking as I love the kitchen, I was not looking forward to shaping dozens and dozens of cookies.
But then I had an aha moment! What if I played around with the recipe to make it work for chocolate chip sticks? They take so much quicker to make and my boys love the gooey insides of my yearly Chametz chocolate chip sticks. Win win. I set about testing the recipe and wadya know?! Pesach chocolate chip sticks were born!!
I lost count of how many batches I made but I’m ok with that because they are so incredibly easy!
It’s not surprising that this recipe went viral! So many people were so grateful for a delicious and easy and NON Gebrokts Pesach dessert! Make it fancy. Serve it warm with a scoop of ice cream! Happy baking! – Faigy
In a 9×13 pan,
combine all ingredients.
Press cookie dough into the 9×13 pan.
Bake for 20-25 minutes.
Slice while warm.
A bonus tip from Chantzy if you’re making these in bulk:
You can easily double this recipe in one bowl. Bake the cookie dough in two parchment-lined 9×13 pans. But don’t freeze them in two pans! Rather, once they’re cooled, lift the sticks from one pan with the parchment paper, and place them on top of the other batch. Now you have 2 layers of chocolate chip sticks in one pan. Then, place in a challah bag like we showed in this post.

Notes
Looks amazing! But why only a handful of chocolate chips? A 9 x 13 would usually get a whole package of chocolate chips.
if your family likes more chocolate chips feel free to add more!
Hi! Any way to modify these for someone with a nut allergy?
thanks so much!
Almond flour is a basic ingredient in these. Try this no nut choc chip cookie recipe. You can try it in a pan like the bars here – post back if it works please! They taste really good. (esp straight from the freezer lol). Without any almond flour, they do spread alot but that’s ok, just leave room.
Beat 1 c oil and 1 c brown sugar (can use white instead or a mix). Add and mix in well: 2 eggs, 1 t vanilla, 1.5 c potato starch, 3/4 t salt, 1 t baking powder. Then add some chocolate chips (I prefer the mini so you get more chocolate taste with less chips). Put batter in fridge for at least an hour. I bake 8 cookies on a pan for 9-10 min at 350. Keep extra dough in the fridge between batches. Enjoy!
With nut allergies in the extended family, I searched long and hard for a good CC cookie recipe.
Any ideas if I don’t use processed ingredients?
lots of fruits salads and fruit platters!
More nut free Pesach recipes would be so appreciated for kids with nut allergies thanks so much
Wow this looks great! Going to try this!
Can I substitute the potato starch with anything?
This recipe needs the potato starch. Dinner Done has a Gluten Free bar that uses only almond flour
Any substitute for brown sugar?
In the past I always used white
I never tried it with only white sugar but I imagine it should come out fine. Brown sugar gives the sticks a softer chewier texture.
Can I skip the baking soda, I don’t use on pesach?
hmmm i never tried it without the baking soda. it will probably come out flatter and dryer. they wont be as soft and chewy
Nut allergies here. Can you post nut-free recipes please? Much appreciated!
We have nut free recipes here

Hi! Can I omit the baking soda… We don’t use it on pesach??
I’m not sure I never made it without. I would think it would come out flatter and slightly dryer.
I made these
Would love to see recipes like this using cake meal for those who eat gebroks.
The consistency is very crumbly. They fall apart
Any idea what I did wrong ?
Made these! So simple, quick and delicious!!
Are the cup measures by weight or by measuring cup?
These are amazing! Can’t recommend enough.
I made this countless of times it’s absolutely delicious
