Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9x9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the unsalted butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Step 4
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the wet mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Step 5
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the chocolate chips using a rubber spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 7
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, spreading it out into an even layer.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Step 9
Allow the squares to cool completely in the pan on a cooling rack before slicing them into 16 squares.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy your Cheesy Chocolate Chip Squares!
