Method Start Cooking
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- In a large mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla and eggs with softened butter. Mix until well combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Press dough flat into a 15x10 jelly roll pan. Tip — wet your fingers and use them to press the dough out evenly across the pan. It's much easier than a spatula!
- Bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly then slice into squares and serve.

Notes
This recipe is adapted from the Nestle Toll House website. I substitute baking powder for baking soda and double it — a tip I learned from my mama who was a home ec teacher. If you prefer baking soda, use 1 teaspoon instead. Wet fingers are the secret to pressing the dough evenly into the pan — trust me! Store leftover bars covered at room temperature for up to 3 days. These are perfect for potlucks, holidays, game day, and any time you need to feed a crowd fast. 🍪
