Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 can (14-ounce) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter for filling
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips for filling
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the 1 cup of unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture. Beat until fully incorporated.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula.
Spread half of the cookie dough into the prepared baking pan, pressing it evenly into a smooth bottom layer. Set the remaining cookie dough aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Heat over medium-low until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips until melted and smooth. This creates the gooey chocolate filling.
Pour the chocolate filling evenly over the cookie dough layer in the pan.
Drop spoonfuls of the remaining cookie dough on top of the chocolate layer. It's fine if some chocolate peeks through; the dough will spread as it bakes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are set. The center should appear slightly underbaked for gooey results.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment overhang. Slice into 16 squares or bars.
Serve and enjoy the gooey chocolate chip sandwich bars at room temperature or slightly warmed!
