Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars Recipe
I’m a total cookie monster.
In fact, when I make cookies for my kids (wink, wink)… I’m usually making them for myself. I tend to be pretty basic, I like chocolate chip the best. On occasion, I’ll try a snickerdoodle or something with peanut butter, but my default is definitely chocolate chip. They’re just so classic and fabulous!
But here’s the deal. The dough isn’t trouble to whip up. For me, it’s the oven babysitting and pausing whatever other task I’ve moved on to when I need to scoop up a new baking sheet. Most recipes take 2-3 rounds of that and some days I can’t handle the extra effort.
That’s why these cookies bars are perfection! You make the dough, spread it in a 9×13 pan, and bake just once! When they’ve cooled, cut into squares and enjoy the taste of cookies with much less effort than normal!
