Ingredients

  • ¾ cup dark brown sugar firmly packed
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ½ cup butter very soft or melted
  • 3 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ cup chocolate chips white or dark, Optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
    Grease and flour a 9"x13" or a 7"x11" baking pan, or line with parchment paper.
  • Stir together flour, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Melt butter (alternately use very soft butter) and add to a large electric mixing bowl fitted with the paddle attachment. Add both sugars to the bowl and mix until completely combined.
  • Add vanilla and eggs one at a time, mixing lightly between each addition.
  • Add flour mixture to mixing bowl, and gently combine until just mixed together.
    If adding chocolate chips, or any other mix-ins, fold in by hand.
  • Spread batter into prepared pan and transfer to oven.
  • Bake for 20-22 minutes for a 9"x13" pan or 25-27 minutes for a 7"x11" pan, or until a toothpick inserted around edges comes out clean, but the center is still slightly soft.
    Cool completely on a wire rack to allow the center to finish cooking before cutting into bars, at least 30 minutes.

Notes

*Thicker Bars:
If you prefer a thicker bar use an 11" x 7" baking dish and cook for about 25-27 minutes.
