Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave or on the stovetop, then let it cool slightly.
Whisk the granulated sugar and light brown sugar into the melted butter until well combined and smooth.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly to ensure uniform thickness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are fine).
Remove the pan from the oven and let the butter chews cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, cut into squares or rectangles and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
