- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with sour cream or yogurt. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in mini chocolate chips if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bars cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can substitute sour cream for yogurt.
- Feel free to add nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra crunch!
- These bars are best enjoyed when slightly warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
