Ingredients

• 1 cup (226g) plant-based butter, softened
• 1 cup (208g) light brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup (112g) white granulated sugar
• 5 large egg yolks
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 3/4 tsp baking soda
• 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 1/2 cups (325g) all-purpose flour
• 2 cups (390g) chocolate chips, divided
• Flakey sea salt to sprinkle (optional)

Directions

1. Preparation:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Prepare a 9×13” baking pan with non-stick spray and line it with parchment paper.
2. Mixing the Dough:
   • In a large bowl, beat together the softened plant-based butter, light brown sugar, and white granulated sugar until combined and fluffy.
   • Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract, beating until fully incorporated.
   • Mix in the baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
3. Combining Ingredients:
   • Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture, using a large spoon or spatula to combine until a dough forms.
   • Stir in 1 3/4 cups (341g) of the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
4. Baking:
   • Spoon the dough into the prepared baking pan.
   • Use the spoon to spread and gently flatten the dough evenly in the pan.
   • Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup (49g) of chocolate chips on top, gently pressing them into the dough.
   • Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the center no longer looks wet.
5. Cooling and Serving:
   • Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a cooling rack. If you can’t wait and don’t mind a less tidy appearance, you can scoop out a spoonful to enjoy warm.
   • Once cooled, lift the entire sheet of cookie bars out of the pan using the parchment paper “tabs”.
   • Slice into rectangles or squares, and if desired, sprinkle with a little flakey sea salt.
   • Enjoy your delicious cookie bars!
6. Storage:
   • Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their freshness.
