1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
03 -
1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
08 -
1 cup mini chocolate chips
# Steps:
01 -
Microwave the all-purpose flour for 1-2 minutes on high power to eliminate any bacteria, or bake at 175°C for 5-10 minutes. Allow to cool completely before using.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and sugar is mostly dissolved.
03 -
Gradually incorporate the cooled flour into the wet mixture, stirring until a thick, soft dough forms. Add additional milk by tablespoons if mixture appears too dry.
04 -
Fold the mini chocolate chips into the dough until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
05 -
Line an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper or lightly grease. Press the cookie dough mixture evenly into the pan, ensuring it reaches all edges.
06 -
Refrigerate the bars for 1-2 hours, or until firmly set.
07 -
Once chilled, remove from pan, cut into squares and serve.
# Notes:

Heat-treating the flour is essential for food safety in this no-bake recipe.

For best results, allow the bars to chill completely before cutting.
