Vegan Brown Butter Salted Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

These Vegan Brown Butter Salted Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars have a lot of great flavors. There are a lot of gooey chocolate chips in them, and the brown butter gives them a hint of nuttiness. With a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top, these bars are the perfect mix of sweet and salty.
