There is totally nothing higher than an ooey, gooey, heat cookie bar resplendent with a healthy quantity of chocolate chips. This oatmeal chocolate chip cookie bar is certainly one of my all-time favorites!

To stage up the deliciousness of those bars, strive browning the butter. (Let it cool barely earlier than utilizing.) You could by no means return.

Tips for Doubling the Recipe

Press the dough right into a 9X13-inch baking pan and bake. But maintain an in depth eye on the bars and don’t over bake. They are finest beneath baked only a tad.

A double batch of those bars may be baked in a half sheet pan (about 11X17-inches or so).

However, they retailer splendidly properly and may be made forward of time. The baked and cooled cookie bars may be frozen for a number of months. I pop the baked and cooled squares in freezer-safe resealable baggage or shallow tupperware-type containers.

They additionally maintain properly within the fridge for two to three days. Freshen them up with a 5 1/2 second stint within the microwave. Or eat them chilly. Delicious both means.
