– 3/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a handful to sprinkle on top of the batter.
7. Spread the cookie dough evenly in the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
8. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top of the dough, gently pressing them into the surface.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
10. Allow the Double Chocolate Cookie Bar to cool completely in the pan before using the parchment overhang to lift it out. Cut into squares and enjoy!
