Preparation Steps

- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth and combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts, if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
