By tschnet1

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter
• 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2/3 cup walnuts, finely chopped
• 2 eggs
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 3/4 tsp salt

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350º F and line an 8x8 or 9x9-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.

In a medium bowl, sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together.

In a large bowl or mixer, cream together butter and sugar for 2-3 minutes, or until light and fluffy.

One by one, add eggs to the butter mixture until incorporated, then vanilla extract and maple syrup.

1/3 cup at a time, add in flour mixture and stir until just incorporated. Then gently fold in walnuts and chocolate chips.

Pour batter into baking dish and place in oven for 20-25 minutes, or slightly longer if you like them a little more set.

Remove from oven, let cool and cut into squares.
