These Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars are chewy gooey bars that come together in one bowl. They are really easy to make and require no chill time!

Instructions
 

  • In a 9x9 baking pan, place parchment paper on the bottom and 2 sides of the pan. Grease the sides and then set aside. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Brown the butter. Melt the butter in a medium sized pan over medium heat. Once it melts, it will crackle, then become foamy – continue mixing the butter while this happens to prevent burning. The butter will go from melted to golden brown quickly, and you’ll know it’s almost done when the aroma of browned butter arrives. The whole process should take about 5 minutes! Once golden, remove from heat and transfer to a glass bowl. Let the butter cool for 15-30 minutes while you prep on the rest of the recipe.
    3/4 cup + 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • In a medium-sized bowl, add in the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt. Mix together and set aside.
    1 tsp cornstarch, 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt
  • In a large bowl, add melted and browned butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Whisk until well combined.
    1/2 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup light brown sugar, 3/4 cup + 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Add in egg, yolk, and vanilla. Continue whisking.
    1 egg, 1 egg, 1 tbsp vanilla
  • Toss in the semi-sweet and mini chocolate chips and mix in a few times.
    1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Place the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Add with a sprinkle of extra chocolate if desired. Bake for 25-30 minutes. If you want a chewier cookie bar, underbake the bars. The middle will be slightly puffy, and the edges will be a light golden brown. If you want regular cookie bars, bake them when a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Let the cookie bars cool completely before slicing, and enjoy! I personally love to have them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
