Ingredients
  

For the Bars
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour Provides structure and texture; no substitutions recommended.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Baking soda Acts as a leavening agent; avoid reducing too much to prevent sinking.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking powder Stabilizes the baking process; omitting may affect texture.
  • 1 pinch Salt Enhances flavor; can be reduced for lower sodium needs.
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted butter Adds richness and moisture; use salted butter with reduced additional salt if necessary.
  • 1/4 cup Brown sugar Contributes moisture and flavor depth; light brown preferred.
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar Adds sweetness and structure; adjust to taste if desired.
  • 1 number Egg yolk Binds ingredients for a rich texture.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Adds aromatic flavor; always use pure vanilla.
  • 1/2 cup Semisweet chocolate chips Provide sweetness; can be substituted with dark chocolate.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for about 2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  4. Mix in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips gently using a spatula.
  7. Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan, pressing it evenly into all corners.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-23 minutes, until golden brown and puffed.
  9. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
