The simplicity of the recipe means you can whip them up quickly, and they bake evenly, ensuring every bite is just as delicious as the last.

Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Spread in Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
8. Cool and Cut: Allow the cookie bars to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.

Cooking Tips

• Don’t Overmix: Be careful not to overmix the batter once you add the flour, as this can lead to tough cookie bars.
• Customize Your Chips: Feel free to mix in different types of chocolate chips, such as dark chocolate or white chocolate, for a unique twist.
• Storage: Store leftover cookie bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
