Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter Add richness and moisture; swap with margarine for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens and helps create a soft texture; try brown sugar for a deeper flavor.
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar Contributes flavor and moisture; choose light or dark based on preference.
  • 2 large Large Eggs Provide structure and moisture; use egg replacer or flaxseed meal for a vegan version.
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Gives structure; replace with a gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free option.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda A leavening agent that makes the bars rise; it can be replaced with baking powder if necessary.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Enhances flavor; omit if using salted butter.
For the Chocolate
  • 2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips Bring sweetness and rich chocolate flavor; dark or milk chocolate chips can be used instead.
