Ingredients
-
2 1/2 cups (270g) all-purpose flour
-
1 tablespoon cornstarch
-
1 teaspoon baking soda
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
-
1 cup (150g) granulated sugar
-
1/2 cup (150g) light brown sugar, lightly packed
-
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2 large eggs, at room temperature
-
2 cups (350g) semisweet chocolate chips
-
1 cup (100g) chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and line a 9×13 inch (approx 23×33 cm) baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a separate large bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
-
Mix in the eggs until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
-
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture. Mix just until no streaks of flour remain.
-
Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped pecans (if using).
-
Evenly press the dough into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cookie bars are golden brown on top.
-
Allow the bars to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing into 24 pieces.
Notes
Pan Size: For thicker cookie bars, bake this recipe in a 9×13-inch pan. For thinner bars, you can also use a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan. Reduce the baking time to 20-25 minutes in this case.
