Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the light brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
Once the butter-sugar mixture has cooled, whisk in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until the top is golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the Butter Chewies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Slice into squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
