Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg
• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter on high for 30-40 seconds until fully melted. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2

Stir in the brown sugar and granulated sugar with the melted butter until smooth and combined.

Step 3

Mix in the vanilla extract and egg, ensuring the egg is fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.

Step 6

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.

Step 7

Lightly grease a microwave-safe 8x8 dish or line it with parchment paper. Press the cookie dough evenly into the dish.

Step 8

Microwave the dish on high for 4-5 minutes. Begin checking for doneness at the 4-minute mark; the edges should appear set, and the center should no longer be raw.

Step 9

Carefully remove the dish from the microwave and let it cool for at least 10 minutes, as the bars will continue to set while cooling.

Step 10

Slice into bars and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
