Ingredients
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 10 cookie straws, coarsely chopped (reserve half for the top)
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips
  • ½ cup milk chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray; set aside.
  3. In a large, microwave-safe bowl melt the butter, about 1 minute on high power.
  4. Wait momentarily before adding the egg so you don't scramble it. Add the egg, brown sugar, vanilla, and whisk until smooth.
  5. Add the flour and stir until just combined.
  6. Stir in the cookie straws and chocolate chips
  7. Turn batter out into prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
  8. Evenly sprinkle the remaining cookie straws over the top, lightly pressing them down with your finger
  9. Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes. Top should be set and edges slightly firm. Allow bars to cool in pan for at least 30 minutes before serving.
