Ingredients
Scale

- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour and any desired spices (like cinnamon). Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.

- Pour batter into prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown; a toothpick inserted should come out clean.
- Allow bars to cool completely before lifting them out and slicing into squares.
