Ingredients
Oatmeal Cookie Bars
- 140 g all purpose flour
- 60 g rolled oats
- ½ tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. salt
- 113 g unsalted butter
- 90 g light brown sugar
- 50 g granulated sugar

- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Fudge
- 200 g semi sweet chocolate chips
- 170 g sweetened condensed milk
- 15 g unsalted butter
- ¼ tsp. salt
Instructions
Oatmeal Cookie Bars
- Preheat the oven to 350°F / 175°C. Butter and line an 8" square pan with parchment paper.
- In the microwave, melt the butter. Pour it into a medium sized mixing bowl.
- Whisk in the brown sugar and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Whisk in the egg and vanilla until very well combined.
- Add in the flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Use a rubber spatula to fold the mixture together just until no flour streaks remain. Set aside.
Fudge
- Add the chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, butter, and salt to a medium sized saucepan.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat, and stir occasionally until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Remove from the heat.
- Transfer ~⅔ of the cookie dough to the prepared baking pan. Use your hands or the back of a measuring cup to pat the dough down into an even layer.
- Pour the fudge over the cookie layer and smooth it out into an even layer.
- Place small pieces of the remaining cookie dough randomly over the fudge layer (It will not be fully covered - this is okay).
- Bake for 30 minutes or until the dough turns golden brown. Wait for the bars to cool to room temperature before slicing. Serve, and enjoy!
