Ingredients

11 cups + ¼ cup All-Purpose Flour
10 Eggs
5 cups Unsalted Butter
10 cups Semisweet Chocolate Chip
2 ½ cups Sugar
2 ½ cups Walnuts Or Pecans
3 ¼ tablespoons Vanilla Extract
1 ¾ tablespoons Baking Soda
5 cups Brown Sugar
2 ½ teaspoons Salt

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a little overhang on the long sides for easy lifting.
In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter, packed light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and glossy.
Whisk in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla extract.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt over the wet mixture. Stir with a spatula just until no dry flour remains; do not overmix.
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips.
Spread the dough evenly in the prepared pan, pressing it into the corners.
Bake for 22 to 26 minutes, until the top is golden and the center looks set but still soft. A toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.
Cool in the pan on a rack for at least 20 minutes. Lift out with the parchment, cut into 16 bars, and serve warm or at room temperature.
