Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 150 grams chocolate chips
- 100 grams raisins
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Allow it to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the bowl, one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Evenly spread the cookie dough into the prepared baking 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.
Allow the cookie bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the cookie slab out of the pan. Cut into 12 equal pieces.
Serve and enjoy, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
