BROWN BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE BARS 🤎 (recipe BROWN BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE BARS 🤎 (recipe below) These disappear in MINUTES every time and they couldn’t be easier!! Brown butter gives them the perfect rich, caramelized flavor notes and there are a few other special ingredients that make them thick, fudgy, and so irresistible.

Full recipe at https://sugarandsparrow.com/brown-butter-chocolate-chip-cookie-bars/ 

INGREDIENTS
10 Tbsp (141g) unsalted butter
1/2 Cup (100g) packed light or dark brown sugar
1/3 Cup (67g) granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 Cups (199g) all-purpose flour
1 Cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Add the butter into a large frying pan and cook over medium heat until the butter melts, stirring occasionally. Cook for another 2-5 minutes while stirring constantly and watching closely. Once you see little flecks of milk solids turn medium brown (without crossing over into the burnt/dark brown territory), remove from heat and transfer to a glass container.
2. Preheat the oven to 350ºF (177ºC). Grease and line an 8-inch square baking pan with a parchment paper overhang.
3. In a large bowl, combine the sugars and brown butter. Whisk in the the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla until uniform, then whisk in the cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
4. Fold in the flour until smooth cookie dough forms. Set aside 1/4 Cup of the chocolate chips, then fold in the remaining chocolate chips.
5. Press the cookie dough into the prepared pan in an even layer. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top and press them in, then bake for 17-20 minutes, until evenly puffed and the edges are lightly golden. It might seem soft in the middle but don’t be tempted to over-bake! 
6. Let the cookie bars cool in the pan for about 30 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely to room temperature before slicing into squares (or enjoy warm!).
