Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter use unsalted for better control over flavor
  • 1 cup Light Brown Sugar opt for dark brown for a richer taste

  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract choose pure vanilla for a more robust flavor
  • 2.25 cups All-Purpose Flour substitute with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free version
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt balances sweetness, skip if using salted butter
  • 0.5 teaspoon Baking Soda verify freshness for best rise

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined.
  4. Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  5. Transfer the cookie dough into the prepared baking pan, pressing it evenly into the corners and smoothing the top.
  6. Bake the cookie bars in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before cutting them into squares.
