Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 12 bars

Ingredients

  • nonstick cooking spray
  • 2 sticks butter, softened (8 ounces; 226 grams)
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar (7 ½ ounces; 213 grams)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (2 ounces; 56 grams)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups gluten-free flour (10 ounces; 284 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (one 12 ounce package) chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350℉. Spray a 9x13 pan with nonstick cooking spray. 

  2. Mix together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until thick, about 30 seconds.

    Add eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until fluffy.

    Add the gluten-free flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until a thick batter forms. Stir in chocolate chips.
