Ingredients

• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

• ¼ cup granulated sugar

• ¼ cup milk (or dairy-free milk)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• 1 cup mini chocolate chips (or regular chocolate chips, chopped)

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Flour:

If you’re using regular flour, heat it in the microwave for 1-2 minutes on high to kill any bacteria. You can also bake it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes. Let it cool before using.

2. Mix Wet Ingredients:

In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until smooth and the sugar is mostly dissolved.

3. Add the Flour:

Slowly add the heat-treated flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until the dough begins to form. It should be thick but soft. If the dough feels too dry, add a little more milk, one tablespoon at a time.

4. Stir in Chocolate Chips:

Once the dough is fully mixed, fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

5. Press into Pan:

Line an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Press the cookie dough mixture into the pan, spreading it evenly to the edges.

6. Chill:

Refrigerate the bars for at least 1-2 hours, or until they are firm and set.

7. Serve:

Once chilled, remove the bars from the pan, cut them into squares, and serve.

Notes

• For extra texture: Add chopped nuts, mini M&Ms, or toffee bits to the dough for more crunch and flavor.

• Storage: Store the bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

• Dairy-free option: Use dairy-free butter and plant-based milk to make these bars dairy-free.
