Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Light brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat or in the microwave. Let it cool slightly before proceeding.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture. Whisk again until the batter is slightly glossy and fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using) to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into squares.
Serve and enjoy your chewy squares! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
