How to Make Zebras

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Melt 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, melt over low heat on the stovetop.
  7. Divide the batter in half. Stir the melted chocolate into one half of the batter.
  8. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  9. Spread half of the vanilla batter evenly in the prepared pan.
  10. Drop spoonfuls of the chocolate batter over the vanilla batter. Drag a butter knife through the batter to create zebra stripes.
  11. Sprinkle the remaining batter with ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and ½ cup chopped walnuts.
  12. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  13. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
