Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan by greasing or lining with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla, and whisk until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  4. Fold in chocolate chips until evenly dispersed.
  5. Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 28-32 minutes until lightly golden around the edges. A toothpick inserted should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Allow to cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before cutting into squares.
