Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease a 13x10-inch jelly roll pan.
In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined.
Stir in 1 2/3 cups of the chocolate morsels and the chopped nuts if using.
Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan and sprinkle the remaining 1/3 cup chocolate morsels over the top.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges and lightly set in the center.
Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into bars.

Notes

Swap semi-sweet morsels for milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate chips for different flavor variations.

Add chopped walnuts, pecans, or shredded coconut for extra texture.

Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before baking for a sweet and salty twist.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.

Freeze cooled bars in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.

Warm individual bars in the microwave for about 10 seconds before serving.
