For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular softened butter. Simply melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, continuing to cook until it turns a nutty brown color. Let cool slightly before using. To ensure the cookie dough is safe to eat, it is crucial to omit the eggs. Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate chips, such as dark chocolate, white chocolate, or even peanut butter chips. For easier slicing, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the cookie dough bar out of the pan before cutting.
