Chocolate Chip Pan Chewies

Let’s Bake!

Step 1: Prep the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

1. In a large bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Stir until smooth.
2. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
3. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients

1. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Don’t overmix!

Step 4: Chocolate Chip Time!

1. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Step 5: Bake & Cool

1. Pour batter into the prepared dish and spread evenly.
2. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
3. Let cool in the pan for at least 15-20 minutes before cutting.

Step 6: Enjoy!

Serve at room temperature or slightly warm. Delicious on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
