Buttery, chewy bars loaded with brown sugar, chocolate chips, and crunchy nuts with caramel notes.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
03 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
04 - 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
→ Wet Ingredients
05 - 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
06 - 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
07 - 2 large eggs, room temperature
08 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
→ Mix-ins
09 - 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
10 - 3/4 cup chopped toasted walnuts or pecans
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
02 - Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
03 - In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and brown sugar until smooth and glossy. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
04 - Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined.
05 - Fold in semisweet chocolate chips and toasted nuts evenly into the batter.
06 - Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 22 to 25 minutes, until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
07 - Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before lifting out with parchment paper and cutting into 16 bars.
