Ingredients

• Vegetable cooking spray
• 1 1/2 cups (7 1/2) ounces unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 1/2 cups (10 1/2 ounces) firmly packed light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup walnuts

Directions

1. Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 13- by 9-inch baking pan with 2 pieces of foil. Coat the foil-lined pan with cooking spray.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together. Set aside.

3. In a medium bowl, whisk the melted butter and brown sugar together until combined. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix well. Using a rubber spatula, fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.

4. Fold in the semisweet chips and the nuts, and turn the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a rubber spatula.

5. Bake until the top is shiny and cracked and feels firm to the touch, rotating pan halfway through baking time, for 22 to 25 minutes. Place the pan on a rack and let cool completely (about 2 hrs). Lift by foil sides onto a cutting board. Cut into bars.
