Ingredients

10 tablespoons - unsalted butter
¼ cup - granulated sugar
½ cup - light brown sugar
1 tsp - vanilla extract
1 - egg
1 ¼ cups - gluten free flour
½ tsp - baking soda
¾ cup - dark chocolate chips
sea salt

Instructions

First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper.
Make the brown butter. Add the butter to a skillet over low medium heat. Continue stirring, until the butter becomes golden brown. Stir constantly to prevent burning.
When the butter becomes golden, remove the pan from the heat. Pour into a small bowl and place in the fridge for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, gather the other ingredients. In a mixing bowl, combine the slightly cooled brown butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Stir to combine.
Then, add in the vanilla and egg. Stir to combine.
Add in the gluten free flour and baking soda. Stir together.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Smooth into an even layer.
Bake for 20 to 22 minutes or until the edges are set and the middle still looks gooey.
Finally, allow the bars to cool for 1 hour before garnishing with sea salt, slicing, and serving.
