Browned Butter and Double Chocolate Chip Cookie Tray Bake - delicious, made in one bowl and very easy to make.
Cookie Tray Bake
What can be better then a cookie that you can slice into bars?
What I love about this recipe is that it combines two of my favourite things. I love a traybake. You get all the flavour with minimum fuss. I also happen to love cookies. I would choose them over brownies any day. So this is a win win recipe in my book.
What can I use instead of Choc Chips?
You can really get creative here and use a whole array of ingredients instead of choc chips and nuts - crushed biscuits, caramels, pretzels, mini eggs, marshmallows, cereals, dried fruits, crisps, berries...whatever you like.
Ingredients
Unsalted Butter
Dark Brown Sugar
Caster Sugar

Chocolate Chips or chopped Chocolate

Hi Safira. This looks lovely! Would this work in a 12 x 8 tin? Am planning to try it in my (larger sized) airfryer.
Safira says
Hi,
Yes it will.
If you want to bake it, it will take slightly longer but in an air fryer it won't take as long. I would try it for 23 minutes and then just keep checking it every couple of minutes. x
