RECIPE
1 cup brown butter*
1 ⅓ cup almond flour**
⅓ cup coconut flour**
⅓ cup brown sugar
⅓ cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla
12 oz (1 bag) milk chocolate chips

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350.
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, mix the room temperature browned butter, the flours, sugars and vanilla. Dough should be crumbly.
Step 3: Press dough in a greased 8×8 pan.
Step 4: Bake for 20-25 minutes
Step 5: Spread with melted chocolate and let chill in fridge for 30 minutes.

*Brown Butter – melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of salted butter over high heat in a large skillet until just browned. Butter will melt, then turn super bubbly, then start to brown. Immediately remove from pan (in a heat safe bowl!!) as soon as it starts to brown.*

**Can substitute almond and coconut flours with 1⅔ cup all purpose flour**
