Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup butter, room temperature
• 0.75 cup white sugar
• 0.75 cup packed brown sugar
• 2.25 cups all-purpose flour

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix flour, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl.

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until partially firm, about 10 minutes. Leave oven on.

Step 3

Cover the partially baked dough with chocolate bars, breaking up as needed to fit. Drop remaining dough over the chocolate as evenly as possible.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Step 5

Beat butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and vanilla in a separate bowl with an electric mixer. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Gradually mix in flour mixture. Spread 1/2 of the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan.

Step 6

Return to the oven and bake until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes more. Let cool before cutting into 24 bars.
