Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
Dry Ingredients
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 2 cups chocolate chips Feel free to mix in nuts if you like!

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Stir in the eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips (and nuts, if using).
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan, spreading it evenly.
  2. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Let your cookie bars cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then slice into squares.

Notes

For easy removal, line your baking pan with parchment paper. You can substitute butter with coconut oil or vegan butter for a dairy-free option. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for about 3-5 days.
