Servings: 16 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- ½ cup butter softened to room temperature
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 cups mini semi-sweet chocolate chips divided
Topping
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1 TBSP butter
- 2 TBSP white chocolate chips
- coarse sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and spread the flour evenly over the parchment paper. Let the flour cook for about 5-6 minutes and then remove from the oven. Allow the flour to cool completely.
- Cream the butter, sugar, and sweetened condensed milk for 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer. Add the vanilla extract and salt, mix for another minute. Add the flour and 2 cups of chocolate chips, mix again until well combined.
- Transfer the cookie dough to a 9x9 pan lined with parchment paper. Press it into the pan evenly. Place the pan in freezer to chill in the meantime.
- Microwave the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips with ¼ cup heavy cream and 1 TBSP butter for 1:30. Stir gently until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. Let it cool for 5-10 minutes, stirring often.
- Remove the pan from the freezer, pour the chocolate ganache on top and spread it quickly to coat the cookie dough.
- Microwave the white chocolate chips for about 45 seconds. Stir until smooth, returning to microwave for :15 increments if needed. Drizzle lines on top of chocolate ganache. Top with coarse sea salt, if desired.
- Cover and chill for at least 4 hours. Cut into bars and enjoy!
