1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is ready for baking.
2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar. Whisk together until well mixed.
3
Cream Butter and Eggs
In another bowl, cream the butter until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4
Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter and egg mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5
Add Flavor Enhancements
Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed in the batter.

6
Prepare Baking Pan
Grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
7
Pour Batter
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
8
Bake
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9
Cool and Serve
Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before cutting into squares or bars. Serve warm or at room temperature.
