Description

These cookie bars are heavenly. They have a great, gooey filling that is just perfect.

Ingredients

• 1 c. unsalted butter
• 3/4 c. sugar
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 T. vanilla extract
• 1 t. baking soda
• 3 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
• 1/2 t. salt
• 1 1/2 c. mini-chocolate chips
• 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
• 4.4 oz. large Hershey bar (or smaller bars to equal that size)

Steps

1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; cook, stirring often, about 6 minutes, until brown in color. It will foam, reduce, and then foam again. Once it’s done cooking, the foam is a light brown and it will dissipate after removing it from the heat. Once it starts to brown, keep stirring so it doesn’t burn. Let sit for about 5 minutes to cool.
2. Pour into the bowl of an electric mixer that has been fitted with paddle attachment. While still hot, add both sugars; mix on low until combined. Let sit to cool for a few minutes.
3. While butter mixture is cooling, combine flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl; stir; set aside.
