Nuts for Chocolate Bars

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
• 3/4 cup chopped nuts

Directions

1. Set the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat an 8x8 inch baking pan with grease.
2. Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl, then put it aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture looks pale and airy.
4. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture a little at a time, stirring only until the batter comes together. Stop there, because extra mixing is not your friend here.
5. Gently fold in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips so they’re scattered evenly through the batter.
6. Scrape the batter into the greased pan and smooth it out. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick poked into the middle comes out clean. Cool the pan before slicing into bars or squares.
