How do you use parchment paper for bar cookies?
Once your treats have baked and cooled, use the flaps to lift them out of the pan in one piece, then peel the paper back from the sides and slice directly on the parchment. Lining a baking sheet with parchment before baking not only helps release your cookies easily, it also prevents the bottoms from getting too dark.
Can you put undercooked cookie bars back in oven?

Eggs: Cookies without eggs are usually flatter and crispier since eggs act as leavening agents. However, it’s the yolks that make cookies chewy, while the whites lead to crunchier cookies.
What makes cookies chewy vs cakey?

How do you keep cookies moist?
Putting a slice of fresh white bread in the container with the cookies will help the cookies stay soft: fresh bread is moist, and that slice will give up its moisture for the greater good: keeping the cookies from drying out. We recommend white bread so that no flavor is transferred to the cookies.
