Preparation Steps

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
• Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
• In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
• Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed through the dough.
• Spread the dough evenly into the prepared 9x13-inch pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
• Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, lift out using the parchment and cut into 12 bars.
