Dive into the rich, nutty flavors of these brown butter cookie bars, each bite packed with a delightful combination of milk and dark chocolate chunks. No need to wait for chilling; this recipe is a swift route to a heavenly treat.
Ingredients:
- 120g Butter
- 100g Light Brown Sugar
- 100g Granulated Sugar
- 225g All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 50g Milk (room temperature, any kind)
- 100g Milk Chocolate Chips
- 80g Dark Chocolate Chunks
Instructions:
- In a pot, melt the butter over medium heat. As it starts to boil, stir occasionally. The butter will foam and bubble up. Keep whisking until it becomes golden brown with a nutty aroma. Then, take it off the heat and pour it into a bowl to cool for about 15-20 minutes at room temperature.
- Once the brown butter has cooled, add both the light brown sugar and granulated sugar. Whisk them together until the mixture is creamy, which should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the milk and vanilla extract into the butter and sugar mixture until well incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix these dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a smooth dough forms.
- Fold in the milk chocolate chips and dark chocolate chunks until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Preheat your oven to 335°F (170°C). Line a small rectangular tray (approximately 10x8 inches) with baking paper.
- Transfer the cookie dough onto the tray and spread it out evenly. Press a few additional chocolate chunks on top for a generous chocolatey finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. The edges will rise slightly, which is perfectly normal.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let the cookie bar cool slightly before slicing.
Enjoy the decadent blend of brown butter and melted chocolate in every chewy, irresistible square! 🍫
