Melt 2/3 cup of butter and add it to a mixing bowl.

Add 2 cups of packed brown sugar to the melted butter and mix until combined.

Add 2 beaten eggs and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the mixture and mix well.

Sprinkle a little flour over 1 cup of dark chocolate chips to prevent them from sinking, then add them to the mixture.

Add 3/4 cup of walnuts (or pecans) to the mixture and stir until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
