My mom used to bake these for us all the time. Definitely a family favorite. These are NOT just chocolate chip cookies in bar form. They are a different recipe altogether. You make the batter in a pan on the stove and there is a lot of brown sugar involved The result is a gooey, chocolatey bar with a light, crunchy top. Serious chocolatey goodness and SO EASY to make!
Chocolate Chip Brownies
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2/3 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1 (12oz) pkg chocolate chips
1/2 -1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Preheat oven to 350-F Lightly grease a 13x9" pan (or spray with PAM for baking).
In a medium size bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Remove from heat and stir in brown sugar and eggs. Add dry ingredients slowly and mix until combined. Add vanilla and walnuts. Spread into the pan and sprinkle chocolate chips evenly on the top. Press them in slightly. Bake 25 minutes or until lightly brown. Let cool and cut into squares.
Happy Baking!
