Ingredients
- 0.5 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter until just melted. Allow it to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the sugar mixture. Whisk until fully incorporated and smooth.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 7
Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a handful to sprinkle over the top, if desired.
Step 8
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Step 10
Allow the pan to cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into 16 squares. Serve and enjoy!
