Byzitouni

🛒 What You’ll Need

  • 2 ¼ cups All-purpose flour 🥯
  • 1 tsp Baking soda 🥄
  • ½ tsp Salt 🧂
  • ¾ cup Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled 🧈
  • 1 cup Brown sugar (packed) 🍬
  • ½ cup Granulated sugar 🤍
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla extract 🍦
  • 1 Large egg + 1 Egg yolk (for extra chewiness!) 🥚
  • 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips (the more, the better!) 🍫

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prep the Pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F. Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a little overhang on the sides for easy lifting. 🔌🔥🥇
  2. Mix the Dry: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. 🥣🌪️✨
  3. Cream the Sugars: In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined. Stir in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. 🧈🥚🤝
  4. Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix until a thick, soft dough forms. 🥯🤝💎
  5. Add the Stars: Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed through the dough. 🍫🤝🎨
  6. The Press: Spread the dough evenly into your prepared pan. Press it down firmly to ensure a flat, even surface as seen in the photo! 📐👑✅
  7. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 25–30 minutes. You want the edges to be golden-brown, but the center should still look slightly soft—it will firm up as it cools! ⏲️📈🔥
  8. Cool & Slice: Let the bars cool completely in the pan before lifting them out by the parchment paper. Slice into generous squares and enjoy! 🍽️😋🧤✨

🔥 Pro Tips:

  • The “Chewy” Secret: As shown in the photo, using an extra egg yolk and melted butter creates that dense, fudgy texture that makes these bars superior to regular cookies! 🍪🛡️💎
  • The “Melty” Hack: Press a handful of extra chocolate chips into the top of the dough right before baking for that professional bakery look! 🍫🎯✅
