Ingredients
- For the cookie dough base:
- - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- - 1 cup granulated sugar
- - 1 cup brown sugar
- - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- - 2 large eggs
- - 3 cups all-purpose flour
- - 1 teaspoon baking soda
- - 1/2 teaspoon salt
- - 2 cups chocolate chips
- For the filling:
- - 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- - 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- - 1 cup chocolate chips
- - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the bowl, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Press half of the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the base.
- In a small saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, butter, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. Heat over low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Spread the chocolate filling evenly over the cookie dough base in the baking pan.
- Take small pieces of the remaining cookie dough and flatten them between your hands. Place them on top of the chocolate filling until it is fully covered.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
- Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting into squares and serving.
