Nutella Cookie Bars

Ingredients

• 120 g browned butter (Browned, then cooled before mixing)
• 100 g brown sugar
• 50 g granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp heavy cream
• 170 g all-purpose flour
• 0.5 tsp baking soda
• 0.25 tsp salt
• chocolate chips (As much as you like)
• Nutella (For the filling; use a generous layer)

Steps

1. 1

   Brown the butter, then let it cool before using.

2. 2

   Pour the cooled browned butter into a bowl. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar, and mix until combined.

3. 3

   Add the egg, vanilla extract, and heavy cream. Mix until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

4. 4

   Stir in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until a soft cookie dough forms.

5. 5

   Fold in the chocolate chips.

6. 6

   Press half of the cookie dough into a lined baking pan.

7. 7

   Spread a generous layer of Nutella over the dough.

8. 8

   Flatten the remaining dough with your hands, place it over the Nutella, and gently spread it so the filling is covered.

9. 9

   Bake at 175°C (350°F) for about 20–25 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft.

10. 10

    Let the bars cool a little before slicing so they remain fudgy and gooey inside.

Notes

The source does not specify a baking-pan size or an exact quantity of chocolate chips or Nutella. Cool the bars briefly before slicing for the stated fudgy texture.
