How to Make Easy Chocolate Chip Pan Squares

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened margarine and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add 2 cups all-purpose flour and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in 2 cups of chocolate chips.
  6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and gently pat down.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the center is set.
  8. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
  9. **Freezing Instructions:** Cut into squares, flash freeze on a baking sheet, then wrap individually in plastic wrap. Place wrapped squares in a freezer bag and label. Thaw and enjoy!
