These delicious cookie-like bars will remind you of a chocolate chip cookie, but the chocolate chips are melted and swirled into the dough. They are soft, chewy and so delicious!
This vintage and easy recipe came from my mother-in-laws collection. I can't remember having them with her, but she made a lot of good sweets and took them to her church for after service. Lucky for all of us, I found this delicious recipe that is very much like a chocolate chip cookie, only in a bar with a swirl! I think you will love Marble Squares because they are made with simple ingredients you likely have in your pantry; they have a soft yet chewy texture with crisp edges and loaded with delicious chocolate flavor!

Tips for Making Marble Squares
Mix up the kind of chocolate chips - use semi-sweet chocolate chunks, milk chocolate chips, white chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips!
This is a great small batch recipe; if you want more (and you just might), double the recipe and put in a 9x13-inch pan.
A good idea is to chill the dough before baking which can improve the texture and flavor because chilling solidifies the fat, which makes it chewier.
If you're a fan, add a little flaky sea salt!
