Instructions

Melt the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently until golden brown and nutty, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk the brown sugar with the slightly cooled browned butter until smooth. Add the beaten eggs and vanilla, mixing until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together. Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined; a few lumps are fine.
Fold in the milk chocolate and dark chocolate chips evenly using a spatula.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang. Lightly grease the parchment.
Spread the cookie bar batter into the prepared pan, smoothing 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 generously on top while warm to enhance the flavor.
Let the bars cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then lift out using the parchment and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice into squares or rectangles and enjoy.

Notes

Make sure to not overbake; the center should be slightly gooey for the perfect texture.
For added flavor, try mixing in your favorite nuts or using different types of chocolate chips.
Allowing the bars to cool completely enhances the cutting process and texture.
