Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted sweet cream butter, melted
- 1 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Add-ins and Topping
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 16 Oreo cookies, chopped
- 1/4 cup colored sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the bars evenly.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a standing mixer, combine the melted butter with the sugar and brown sugar until thoroughly blended, creating a smooth base.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs and egg yolk one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure a well-emulsified batter. Then mix in the vanilla extract for flavor.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt, mixing to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning agents.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just incorporated. Then fold in the chocolate chips and sprinkles to add texture and color.
- Prepare Batter in Pan: Spread the batter evenly into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Press the chopped Oreo cookies gently into the batter to embed them.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes or until the edges begin to turn golden brown, indicating doneness.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting into 16 pieces. This cooling step helps the bars set for clean slices and optimal texture.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs for better mixing.
- Ensure butter is melted but not hot to avoid cooking the eggs prematurely.
- For extra gooey bars, slightly underbake them and allow residual heat to finish cooking.
- Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- Adding chopped nuts can add a delightful crunch if desired.
