  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl stir together the melted butter and brown sugar. Add in the eggs and vanilla and stir until combined.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts.
