Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 200 grams Brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 300 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 250 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in 20-second intervals until fully melted. Let it cool slightly.
Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the melted butter, and whisk until fully combined and smooth.
Mix in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bars fluffy.
Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough using a spatula.
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking dish. Use the spatula to spread it evenly into a smooth layer.
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 (avoid overbaking).
Remove the baking dish from the oven and allow the cookie bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 16 squares and enjoy!
