These brown butter chocolate chip cookie bars are dense, soft, chewy, and loaded with melty chocolate chips! The brown butter gives them a rich toffee-like flavor and a sprinkle of sea salt on top helps bring out the chocolate even more. It's basically the only cookie bar recipe you will ever need!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (110g) + 1 tbsp unsalted butter*
  • 1/2 cup (100g) dark brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups (165g) all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 cup (185g) semisweet chocolate chips, plus more for sprinkling on top
  • Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Directions

  1. 1

    Add 1/2 cup of the unsalted butter to a saucepan over medium heat. Melt down and continue to stir until it goes from load and bubbly to quiet and frothy. Once it goes quiet, pay attention to the color as it will brown very fast.
