Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 1/8 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 12 tablespoons butter (1 1/2 sticks), melted and cooled slightly
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Adjust the oven rack to the lower-middle position.
- Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with foil, letting the excess hang over the edges of the pan by about 1 inch. Spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until combined.
- Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and whisk until smooth.
- Using a rubber spatula, fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 24-28 minutes, or until the top is light golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Allow the bars to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then use the foil overhang to lift them out of the pan. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
These bars are perfect for sharing, as they are easy to slice and serve. For a variation, try adding nuts or using different types of chocolate chips. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. You can also freeze them for longer storage.
