Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, cream 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter with 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup granulated sugar using a hand mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
Step 2: Mix in 1 tsp vanilla extract and 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk until fully combined.
Step 3: Gradually add 1 cup heat-treated all-purpose flour and 1/4 tsp salt, mixing on low speed to avoid lumps until a soft dough forms.
Step 4: Fold in 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips evenly using a spatula.
Step 5: Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and press the dough evenly into the pan using your hands or a spatula.
Step 6: Refrigerate the pan for at least 1 hour until the bars are firm enough to cut into squares and serve chilled.
