Salted Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

1. Preheat and Grease

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish with some butter.

2. Melt Butter

In a saucepan, melt ½ cup of unsalted butter over medium heat. Once the butter is browned, pour it into a large bowl.

3. Combine Sugars and Butter

Add the granulated sugar, turbinado sugar, and packed dark brown sugar to the melted butter and stir until well combined and smooth.

4. Add Eggs and Vanilla

Incorporate the eggs and vanilla extract into the sugar and butter mixture and stir until creamy.

5. Add Dry Ingredients

Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and sea salt to the wet ingredients and mix thoroughly. Then fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

6. Prepare for Baking

Transfer the cookie dough to the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the flake salt over the surface of the dough.

7. Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still soft.

8. Cool and Serve

Allow the cookie bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving.
