3/4cupdark brown sugaryou can use light brown sugar if that's what you have!

1tspvanilla
2large eggs
12ozsemi-sweet chocolate chips
Flaked salt (optional)
Instructions
Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees if using a metal pan and 325 degrees if using a glass or ceramic pan. Grease a 9x13" pan
Combine flour, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl. Set aside
Beat butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla and eggs until combined.
Slowly add flour mixture into wet ingredients until just combined.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Spread dough into the pan in an even layer.
Bake for 18-22 minutes at 350 degrees if using a metal pan and 30-38 minutes if using a glass or ceramic pan, until the top is golden brown.
Sprinkle with flaked salt.
Let cool completely before slicing.
Notes
These cookie bars bake faster in a metal pan so be sure to adjust your bake time and temperature, as noted in the recipe, if you're using a glass or ceramic pan. If you have the choice, they bake more evenly overall in a metal pan so I would recommend that as my first choice.
If you're looking to cut down the sugar a bit, you can make these with 1/2c granulated sugar (instead of the full 3/4c) and they still taste just as delicious!
I prefer semi-sweet chocolate chips, but my mom often makes them with milk chocolate chips.
Do NOT over bake. The center will not be completely set upon removing from the oven.
