1 ½cupslight brown sugar
½cupgranulated sugar
2teaspoonspure vanilla extract
3large eggs
3cupsall-purpose flour
1teaspoonbaking powder
1teaspoonbaking soda
1teaspoonsalt
3cupssemi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy (about 1 minute). Beat in the vanilla and eggs. Stir in the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Using a large rubber spatula or wooden spoon, spread the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer. The dough may be thin, but will puff and close holes during baking.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until cooked through and edges are lightly browned. Let cool and cut into squares.
Notes
Source: Eat2GatherThe baking sheet I use is about 12x17, but I have also used other sizes. You may need to adjust the baking time depending on the size of your baking sheet.Optional: Before baking, sprinkle regular M&M's onto top of dough and lightly press. This is one of our favorite additions!
