Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

  5. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until it's just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts, if you’re using them.
  7. Spread the cookie batter evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow to cool in the pan before slicing into bars.

Notes

These cookies are delightful on their own but can be paired with ice cream or drizzled with chocolate for an extra treat. Store in an airtight container.
