This classic favorite cookie just got a whole lot easier. Make chocolate chip sticks now in minutes.
In the days before kosher cookbooks were gorgeous coffee table books, we cooked from those basic spiral cookbooks. And then The Kosher Palette started the chain that changed the kosher cookbook scene forever! (Fun fact: Susie Fishbein was one of its editors).
Perhaps one of the most popular recipes in that cookbook is the Chocolate Chip Sticks. Since that recipe has gone from friend to friend for years, we figured we could make it even simpler by dumping everything directly in a 9×13 inch pan and saving ourselves the step of forming it into logs (as the original recipe instructs). Some slight adaptations with flour and baking time and we present to you the 9×13 chocolate chip sticks.
Chocolate Chip Sticks
Author: Adapted from Kosher Palette Cookbook
Ingredients
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- ½ cup oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ¼ cup flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350⁰F.
- Mix the sugars, egg, and oil directly in the 9x13 pan. Add remaining ingredients and mix together. We found it easiest to do this with a gloved hand.
- Once mixed, press the dough into the pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until edges are crispy. Cut into 18 bars while still warm. Let cool completely before breaking into sticks.
These chocolate chip sticks are so versatile, you can really make them your own. A couple of our readers shared the variations they made:
*Rivki Rabinowitz swapped the sugar for coconut sugar and swapped half the oil for applesauce.
* Chaya Shifra Sadoff cut the sugar a bit by swapping the sugar for 1/2 cup turbinado sugar and 3 Tbsp coconut sugar. She used a chopped chocolate bar instead of chocolate chips.
*Sarah K. made a trail mix version by adding different nuts, raisins, and Craisins to the mix in addition to chocolate chips.
Yum! This is memories for me- my mother used to bake these every single shabbos. Most times the old simple recipes are the best ones…
totally yummy!!!!!
love the 9×13 life series
No mixer at all for entire recipe??
No mixer!
My 9 year old bakes when she get home from school on Friday. No mess-so easy-had them this Shabbos!! A big hit!!
I used coconut oil and coconut sugar to make a bit of a healthier version. It isn’t overly coconutty but gives just a hint of it. My kids gobble it up every time!
insane insane!!! did the alterations with coconut oil it’s awesome! wanna thank you just discovered your site. been following you on insta for a while..
If I plan on freezing immediately, should I cut them before or after ? Thanks
Cut them before.
So yum!! Thanks for this awesome recipe. I always like having baked goods for Shabbos and when I’m too tired or only have one egg left this is my go to! I do however add a little more flour 🙂 thank you!
I substituted some of the flour with oatmeal and it came out great. I did 1 cup flour and 1/4 c oatmeal
This recipe is heavenly! It’s a huge hit and super easy to make! Thank you!
I just made with cinnamon instead of choc chips and just swirled it in and it’s amazing
I added coffee to the batter and mixed it in and was incredible! I’ve also cut back sugar And
Used stevia and coconut sugar!
Should I spray the pan before adding all ingredients? It doesn’t stick to the pan?
I made these for mishloach manos. They are so good. Thanks for the recipe!
