Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 15x10x1-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until light and creamy, about 3 minutes.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until combined.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using), stirring until evenly distributed.
  • Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool completely in the pan before cutting into 35 (2-inch) squares.
  • Enjoy! Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • You can use semi-sweet, milk chocolate, or white chocolate chips or a combination of any of these.
  • Chopped walnuts or pecans are both great in this recipe. 
  • If you prefer warm, gooey bars, pop a slice in the microwave for 10-15 seconds before serving. It’s like enjoying them fresh out of the oven!
  • Oven temperatures can vary, so start checking the bars a few minutes before the recommended bake time. The edges should be golden brown, and the center should look slightly underbaked—it will firm up as it cools
