Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter very soft almost melt
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 ½ cups brown sugar packed
- 2 Tbsp. whole milk
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- 1 Tbsp. pure vanilla extract
- 3 ½ cups all purpose flour don’t pack down
- 2 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips (I use semi sweet but use your favorite)
- ¼ cup chocolate chips to sprinkle on top after baking (minis also work great!)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Spray a standard half sheet pan with nonstick spray (13x18) and set aside. Add the butter and sugars together in a mixing bowl and mix on medium speed until smooth.
- Add the eggs, milk and vanilla. And mix until combined. Add the dry ingredients and mix until mostly combined. Add the chocolate chips in and fold in gently. Add the batter to the prepared baking sheet. Spread evenly until smooth. All of the batter will fit perfectly, it just takes smoothing. I like to use a cake spreader. I also like to spray my finger with cooking spray and press that way. Bake for 27-32 minutes. I start checking at 27 minutes. You are looking for a light golden center-golden on edges. You will want to lightly underbake because they will continue to cook a bit after removing from oven. A little underbaked is better than over-baked. They will be a little puffy at first, but will settle. Tapping them gently on the counter will help them to settle. Sprinkle the remaining chips on top. Cool completely.
Notes
These can be cut into 35 squares or 24 larger squares. Perfect for any gathering!
