Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the cookies to cool in the pan before cutting them into squares.

For a fun twist, consider adding some chopped nuts, like walnuts or pecans, to the batter for extra crunch. If you’re dealing with picky eaters, you can mix in some colorful M&M’s instead of chocolate chips. You could also sprinkle some sea salt on top before baking for a sweet and salty combination that’s absolutely delicious. For a festive touch during the holidays, try adding some dried cranberries or white chocolate chips.
