Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 cup (225g) all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1/2 cup (100g) dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • 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.
