Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookie Bars
These chocolate chunk oatmeal cookie bars are soft and chewy with deep brown sugar, decadent chopped chocolate, and old-fashioned oats.
Servings: 18 cookie bars
Ingredients
- 12 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 1-1/2 cups brown sugar packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 cups chocolate chunks
- Flakey sea salt optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a quarter sheet pan with parchment paper or spray it with nonstick baking spray. This recipe can also be made in a 9x13 cake pan but a quarter sheet pan is just the right height!
- Add the softened butter and brown sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until well combined, about 1 minute.
- Next, add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix to combine. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Next, add the oats, flour, and baking soda. Mix on low speed, just until combined.
- Finally, add the chocolate chunks and fold them into the dough.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared pan and spread it into a smooth, even layer.
- Bake for 28-30 minutes, or until the bars are golden brown around the edges and fully set in the center.
- Allow the cookie bars to cool completely in the pan. Then, remove them to a cutting board and slice them into your desired size.
