Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.75 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 3
Whisk in the brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Step 4
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until fully combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 7
Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using).
Step 8
Spread the dough evenly into the prepared pan, using a spatula to smooth the surface.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. Avoid overbaking to ensure the cookies remain soft and chewy.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and allow the pan cookie to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Step 11
Once cool, slice into squares or rectangles and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
