Ingredients
- 1 cup softened unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a 9 x 9-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- Add the butter to the bowl of a stand mixer, along with the brown and granulated sugar.
- Beat until creamy, then add the eggs and vanilla. Beat again until mixed, then set aside (do not overmix).
- In another bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and mix with a wire whisk.
- Add the dry mixture to the wet in three-cup batches. Beating until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour into a 9 x 9-inch baking pan lined with parchment paper. Level out the batter with the back of your spoon.
- Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes.
- Remove and allow the bars to cool in the pan before lifting out with the parchment paper to cut into nine squares.
Notes
- If you don't have parchment paper, that is fine. Just make sure you grease the pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
- Check after 25 minutes to see if the top of the cookies is golden brown. They may not need a full 30 minutes of baking time.
