Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.75 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a larger mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth.
Step 4
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 7
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan. Spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 8
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 only a few moist crumbs.
Step 9
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, lift them out using the parchment paper overhang and cut into 12 squares or bars.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
