Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
Add the granulated sugar and light brown sugar, then mix until well combined and fluffy.
Mix in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next one.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to smooth out the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
Allow the cookie bars to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cut into 16 bars and serve. Enjoy your nut-free chocolate chip cookie bars!
