How to Make Swirl Squares

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and sour cream.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the chopped walnuts.
  7. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Sprinkle half of the chocolate chips over the batter.
  9. Pour the remaining batter over the chocolate chips and spread evenly.
  10. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top.
  11. Using a knife or toothpick, gently swirl the batter to create a marble effect. Don't over-swirl!
  12. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  13. Let the Swirl Squares cool completely in the pan before cutting into 36 squares.
