Browned Butter Chocolate Bar Cookies

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place your butter in a small saucepan and heat it up over a low to medium-low heat. Whisk the butter while it’s heating until it starts to foam and you can see brown caramely bits at the bottom. Take of the heat and whisk for another 30 seconds. Let cool slightly and whisk the sugar in. It won’t completely mix together until the eggs are added in. Let it get to room temperature before pouring this mixture into a small bowl. Mix in the vanilla and eggs until it comes together. In a small to medium size bowl, mix the dry ingredients. Combine both dry and wet ingredients until the flour has almost completely disappeared. Chop up the chocolate of your choice (I used dark chocolate) and fold it in until it is evenly distributed. Scoop up some of the dough with a spoon and place the flat side on a lined cookie sheet. Place cookies about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 375 degrees. Let them set for about 2 minutes before placing on a wire rack or plate. If you like, you can sprinkle a little bit of salt over the top. Either way these are best out of the oven, but they store well in an airtight container for about 2 weeks.
