Ingredients
- 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet or milk chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well blended. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition, and then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour into Prepared Dish: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The center may look slightly underbaked; that's the gooeyness we're after!
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into squares and enjoy!
