Ingredients

¾ cup dark brown sugar firmly packed
¾ cup sugar
½ cup butter very soft or melted
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon cornstarch
½ cup chocolate chips white or dark, Optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Grease and flour a 9"x13" or a 7"x11" baking pan, or line with parchment paper.
Stir together flour, salt, baking powder, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Set aside.
Melt butter (alternately use very soft butter) and add to a large electric mixing bowl fitted with the paddle attachment. Add both sugars to the bowl and mix until completely combined.
Add vanilla and eggs one at a time, mixing lightly between each addition.
Add flour mixture to mixing bowl, and gently combine until just mixed together.
If adding chocolate chips, or any other mix-ins, fold in by hand.
Spread batter into prepared pan and transfer to oven.
Bake for 20-22 minutes for a 9"x13" pan or 25-27 minutes for a 7"x11" pan, or until a toothpick inserted around edges comes out clean, but the center is still slightly soft.
Cool completely on a wire rack to allow the center to finish cooking before cutting into bars, at least 30 minutes.

Notes

For Thicker Bars:

If you prefer a thicker bar use an 11" x 7" baking dish and cook for about 25-27 minutes.
