Instructions

Melt the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently until it foams and turns golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and slightly cooled browned butter until smooth. Add the beaten eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined; it's okay if a few lumps remain.
Fold in the milk and dark chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly distributed.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang. Lightly grease the parchment.
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
Sprinkle Maldon flaked salt on top of the warm cookie bars to enhance the flavor.
Let the bars cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then lift using the parchment overhang and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice into squares or rectangles and enjoy.

Notes

For a deeper flavor, ensure the butter is browned well without burning.
These bars can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
Feel free to use your favorite chocolate chips or mix-ins for a personal touch.
