Calories: 195kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Pinch of flaky salt optional for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on at least 2 of the sides to easily lift the bars out as a whole. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add in egg and vanilla extract. Mix until combined, scraping the bowl as needed.
- Add the flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in chocolate chips. The dough will be thick and soft.
- Transfer batter to the baking dish and gently spread to the edges.
- Bake until edges are golden and the middle is set, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with flaky salt, if using.
- Once the bars have cooled, remove from the pan by lifting the parchment paper. Slice into 16 square bars and serve.
