Description

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350F (177C) and prepare either a 13x9 or 9x9 pan (13x9 for more servings, 9x9 for thicker, chewier congo squares) by lining with parchment paper (or lightly grease and flour).
• Combine melted (cooled) butter and sugars in a large bowl, stir well.
• Add eggs, and egg yolk one at a time, stirring well after each addition.
• Stir in vanilla extract.
• In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.  
• Gradually stir dry ingredients into wet until completely combined.  Stir in chocolate chips.
• Spread batter evenly into prepared pan.  Bake on 350F (177C) until edges just begin to turn golden brown (30 minutes for 13x9 pan; 35 minutes for 9x9 pan).
• Allow to cool before cutting and serving (dont cool too long, though -- these are amazing when served still slightly warm!)
