Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter until just melted. Allow it to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the sugar mixture. Whisk until fully incorporated and smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a handful to sprinkle over the top, if desired.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the pan to cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into 16 squares. Serve and enjoy!
