Ingredients
2ΒΌ cups all-purpose flour (270g)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
ΒΎ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly (170g)
1 cup packed light brown sugar (220g)
β cup granulated sugar (133g)
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided (360g)
Instructions
1-First, preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line an 8Γ8-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
2-In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt; set this aside to keep your dry ingredients ready.
3-Next, in a large bowl, combine the melted butter and sugars, whisking for about 30 seconds until thickened.
4-Then, add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, whisking well for about 1 minute to incorporate everything evenly.
5-Stir the dry mixture into the wet ingredients using a silicone spatula until almost combined, leaving a few dry streaks for the best texture.
6-Reserve about ΒΌ cup of the chocolate chips and mix the rest into the dough before transferring it to the prepared pan.
7-Spread the dough evenly in the pan with an offset spatula and sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top for a nice finish.
8-Bake for about 55 minutes until the edges are set and golden brown, checking with a toothpick that comes out with a few moist crumbs.
9-Finally, let the bars cool in the pan for about one hour before removing and cutting into squares.
