Ingredients:
- 2 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (make sure it includes xanthan gum)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups gluten-free chocolate chips
-
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this aside for later.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add eggs and vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Add the dry ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in chocolate chips: Fold in the gluten-free chocolate chips with a spatula, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Bake: Spread the dough evenly in your prepared baking pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bars are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and cut: Let the bars cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Once fully cooled, cut into squares and enjoy!
