Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
Add-ins
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the squares evenly.
- Mix butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar until well incorporated and smooth.
- Add flour: Gradually add the flour to the wet mixture, stirring continuously to form a thick batter without lumps.
- Fold in chocolate and nuts: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Bake the batter: Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan and spread it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool and cut: Remove from the oven and allow the baked squares to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack to set properly before cutting.
- Serve: Once cooled, cut into squares and serve as a delicious dessert or snack.
Notes
- You can substitute nuts based on preference or omit for a nut-free version.
- Allowing the squares to cool fully before cutting prevents them from crumbling.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Adding a pinch of salt to the batter can enhance the chocolate flavor.
