Ingredients

  • 113 g salted butter, cubed
  • 270 g plain flour
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp milk powder
  • 200 g light brown sugar
  • 100 g caster sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 250 g dark chocolate, chopped into chunks
  • 85 g milk chocolate, chopped into chunks
  • flaky salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease & line a 9x13-inch baking tray with parchment paper; set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over a medium-low heat until browned. For more info: Joy the Baker on How to Brown Butter. Pour the brown butter into a bowl - brown bits at the bottom and all! - and leave to cool for 5-minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and milk powder; set aside.
  • In a large bowl with an electric whisk, beat together the brown butter and sugars until combined. Add the eggs & vanilla extract, and beat until smooth. Slowly add the dry ingredients and mix on low justtt until combined. Using a spatula, stir in the chocolate chunks.
  • Transfer the cookie dough into the prepared tray, using an offset spatula to smooth over the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top of the bars are light golden brown, and the edges have puffed and started to pull away from the pan. Allow to cool in the pan for 15-minutes before using a heart shaped cookie cutter to stamp out hearts.
