Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (220g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (170g) white chocolate chips or chunks
  • 1/2 cup (80g) red and green holiday sprinkles
  • Extra sprinkles, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Make the Dough:
    • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
    • Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  3. Combine the Dry Ingredients:
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  4. Add Mix-ins:
    • Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and holiday sprinkles.
  5. Press into Pan:
    • Spread the dough evenly into the prepared 9×13-inch pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top.
    • Sprinkle additional holiday sprinkles over the top for a festive touch.
  6. Bake:
    • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is set.
    • Let the bars cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
  7. Serve:
    • Cut into 16-20 squares and serve! These bars are perfect with a cup of hot cocoa or as part of a holiday dessert spread.

Notes

  • Make it colorful: Add red and green M&M’s or chopped peppermint bark for more holiday cheer.
  • Make ahead: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Add flavor: Drizzle melted white chocolate over the top for extra sweetness.
