Preparation Steps
- Heat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13-inch pan with parchment and lightly grease.
- Whisk melted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until glossy and smooth.
- Whisk in the beaten eggs and vanilla until the mixture looks slightly thickened.
- Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Stir the dry ingredients into the wet just until no dry streaks remain.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts, if using.
- Spread batter evenly in the pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle mini chips over.
- Bake 22–26 minutes, until edges are set and a tester shows a few moist crumbs.
- Cool the pan on a rack. Lift out with parchment and slice into squares.
Notes
Try swapping in butterscotch chips or peanut butter chips for a fun twist. A pinch of flaky salt on top adds contrast. Store bars airtight at room temperature for 3 days, or freeze up to 2 months.
