Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams light brown sugar
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 200 grams chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until fully liquid, then let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Add the vanilla extract and the eggs, one at a time, whisking until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on top.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with the spatula.
Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips over the batter for a decorative touch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment overhang.
Cut into 12 bars and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
