  1. Cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer for about 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  2. Stir in vanilla extract and gradually mix in all-purpose flour until just incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  3. Add sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips, stirring until evenly distributed for a rich batter.
  4. Press the dough into a greased 9x9 inch baking pan evenly, packing it down and smoothing the top before chilling for 30 minutes.
