Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Bake: Spread the dough evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
Notes
- Add chopped nuts or swirl in peanut butter for variety.
- Don’t overbake if you want a chewy texture.
- These bars freeze well—wrap tightly and store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
