Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9x9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the unsalted butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the wet mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips using a rubber spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, spreading it out into an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Allow the squares to cool completely in the pan on a cooling rack before slicing them into 16 squares.
Serve and enjoy your Cheesy Chocolate Chip Squares!
