Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper.

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

In a large mixing bowl on medium speed, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

Beat in the yolk and vanilla until smooth.

On low speed, gradually beat in the flour mixture for 1 minute or until the dough comes together. The mixture will look dry and crumbly but will come together to pat into the pan. Do not overbeat. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Evenly pat the dough into the pan. Bake 18-23 minutes or until golden brown and puffed. Let cool for 15 minutes before removing from the pan. Cool completely before cutting.

Yields 6-8 cookie bars
