Salted Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
How Sweet Eats
Notes
If you don't have a 9x13 baking dish, two 9x9 ones will work.
If you don't have maldon flaked salt, sea salt will work.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, loosely packed
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup dark chocolate chips
Maldon flaked salt (or sea salt), for topping
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Put the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Let the mixture bubble while stirring occasionally until brown bits begin to appear on the bottom. Once the brown bits appear, turn the heat off and continue to stir for about 30 seconds. Let the butter cool slightly.
- Take a pastry brush and line the bottom and sides of the baking dish with the butter.
- Place the brown sugar in a large bowl. Pour in the brown butter and mix until combined and smooth (the sugar will somewhat dissolve). Add the eggs one at a time, stirring immediately so they don’t cook if the butter is still warm. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Use a wooden spoon to stir in the dry ingredients until they're almost combined. Then add the chocolate chips until they're evenly dispersed.
- Press the mixture into the buttered dish. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set in the center. Remove the dish and immediately sprinkle the top with salt. Let cool before slicing into squares.
