Oh my goodness, ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you about this absolutely divine recipe that’s been making waves in my kitchen! Trust me, once you try these Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars, you’ll be wondering where they’ve been all your life.
Let me spill the tea on this heavenly treat that combines the comfort of classic chocolate chip cookies with a sophisticated twist that’ll make you feel like a total kitchen goddess. 🧁✨
Picture this: golden-brown, chewy bars loaded with melty chocolate chips and a nutty brown butter aroma that’ll have your neighbors “casually” dropping by. And honey, that brown butter? It’s basically butter that’s living its best life!
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 2 sticks unsalted butter
– 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1 teaspoon sea salt
– 1 cup brown sugar
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
– Flaky sea salt for sprinkling (because we’re fancy like that!)
Now, let’s get down to business! First things first, we’re going to brown that butter like it’s getting ready for its summer vacation. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, stirring occasionally. Watch it like you’re watching your favorite reality TV show – it’ll start to foam and turn golden brown with a nutty aroma. Once you see little brown specks at the bottom, remove it from heat and let it cool.

While the butter’s cooling, whisk together your flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, mix your cooled brown butter with both sugars until they’re best friends. Beat in those eggs one at a time (show them some love!), then add the vanilla.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients – no need to go all Hulk mode here, just mix until combined. Fold in those chocolate chips like you’re tucking them into bed. Spread the dough into a 9×13 inch lined baking pan, and sprinkle that fancy sea salt on top.
Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown on top. The hardest part? Waiting for them to cool! But trust your girl here – they’re worth the wait.
Y’all, these bars are seriously life-changing. They’re perfect for potlucks, book clubs, or those moments when you need to stress-eat something absolutely delicious (we’ve all been there!).
