Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter to be browned
- 1 ½ cups light brown sugar loosely packed
- 2 eggs lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- maldon flaked salt for topping
Instructions
- Melt the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently until golden brown and nutty, about 5-7 minutes, then cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, mix the browned butter and brown sugar until smooth, then incorporate the eggs and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually mix into the wet ingredients until just combined; a few lumps are okay.
- Fold in milk and dark chocolate chips evenly using a spatula.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes until edges are golden and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
- Sprinkle Maldon flaked salt on top of warm cookie bars to enhance flavor.
- Cool the bars in the pan for 15 minutes, then lift out with parchment overhang and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Allow the butter to brown properly for the best flavor.
Use a mix of chocolate chips for a richer taste.
Store the cookie bars in an airtight container for up to a week.
