Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 piece Large egg
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Chocolate chips (or mix-ins of choice)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, whisking until smooth and slightly thickened.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the chocolate chips (or other mix-ins of your choice, such as nuts, toffee bits, or white chocolate chips).

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.

Step 8

Remove the pan from the oven and let the cookie bars cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 squares or rectangles.

Step 9

Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
