Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave or on the stovetop, then let it cool slightly.

Step 3

Whisk the granulated sugar and light brown sugar into the melted butter until well combined and smooth.

Step 4

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly to ensure uniform thickness.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are fine).

Step 9

Remove the pan from the oven and let the butter chews cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 10

Once cooled, cut into squares or rectangles and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
