Main Ingredients

1 cup granulated sugar Sweet backbone; don’t skimp.
1 cup all-purpose flour Gives structure.
1 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts) Toasty crunch; toast them briefly for more flavor.
1/2 cup butter, melted Richness and moisture.
1 cup chocolate chips Use semi-sweet for balance.
2 pieces eggs Help bind and lift the batter.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract Little flavor booster.
1/2 teaspoon baking powder Gives a light rise (don’t forget it).
1/4 teaspoon salt Balances the sweetness.

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish well so the edges come out clean.
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 eggs, and 1/2 cup melted butter. Stir until well combined.
Add the 1 cup chopped nuts, 1 cup chocolate chips, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; mix well.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly with a spatula.

Baking

Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan on a cooling rack.
Cut into squares and serve. Best served slightly warm.

For extra gooeyness, pull them at 24-25 minutes. Let melted butter cool slightly before adding eggs.
