Ingredients

The following ingredients have 16 Servings
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons corn starch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 7 ounces dark chocolate (chopped (milk or semisweet can be substituted))

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Add the butter to a small saucepan set over medium heat and cook until it melts. Whisk the butter constantly. It will foam and bubble.
  • Continue whisking until the butter has turned a golden brown color and smells nutty. Remove from the heat, let cool 5 minutes, and add to a large mixing bowl.
  • Beat the butter and sugars together until well combined. Stir in the egg and vanilla.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, corn starch, baking soda, and salt. Stir into the butter mixture and mix until well combined. Stir in the chocolate chunks.
  • Line a 9x13 baking dish with parchment or foil. Press the dough into the prepared pan. Bake for 15 minutes exactly for bars with a gooey, underdone center. Bake a few minutes longer for firmer, more set bars.
  • Cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting, longer if you don't want your bars to fall apart.
