Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 150 grams light brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 280 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 300 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 100 grams chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once fully melted, remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter until smooth.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients using a spatula, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts (if using). The batter will be thick.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan. Once cool, use the parchment overhang to lift the bars out of the pan.
Slice into 16 even squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
