- Pour the topping mixture over the cookie layer.
- Bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is set.
- Remove the pan from the oven and place on a wire rack. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top of the topping. Let the chips sit for about 5 minutes. Then spread the chocolate over the topping. Cool completely before cutting into bars.
