Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup milk
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition.

Step 5

Mix in the vanilla extract and milk until fully combined.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in two or three increments, mixing just until combined after each addition.

Step 7

Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 8

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 10

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the cake bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 16 squares or bars.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy your delicious Chocolate Chip Cake Bars!
