Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars with Flakey Sea Salt

Chocolate Chips - I love milk chocolate for extra sweetness

Butter - unsalted is best since we are adding extra flakey salt to the top.

Egg - acts as a binder for the dough.

Vanilla Extract - really ups the flavor by using vanilla bean paste.

Sugar - both brown sugar for a warm caramely flavor and granulated for a little exterior crunch.

Flour - all purpose flour is best

Baking Powder and Baking Soda - I like the combination of baking powder and soda for my cookies

Salt - both regular salt in the cookie dough and flaky salt for topping
