Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the melted and cooled unsalted butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth.
- Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients. Whisk until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Notes
- For extra spice, add 1/2 tsp of ground ginger and a pinch of cloves to the dry ingredients. - Do not overmix the dough once the flour is added; this can lead to tough bars. Mix until just combined. - If the bars seem too soft when removed from the oven, let them cool completely in the pan. They will firm up as they cool. - Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
