Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookie Bars Blondies

These have quickly become a favorite around here and the beauty is that you can whip them up in 10 minutes and stick them in the oven. Soft and chewy in the middle section (I love them like that!) and a little more crispy on the edges for those that think they are not cooked long enough. :) They are also divine served warm with some vanilla ice cream. Soooo good. We originally got this recipe from Tastes Better Than Scratch but here is how we make them!

** Printable Recipe here **

1 cup of butter (2 sticks), softened

1 cup light brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 1/2 cups flour

2 cups old fashioned oats (I have used quick oats too and they are fine too)

2 cups of chocolate chips (we love a combo of semi-sweet and white but really, whatever you have on hand)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9 x 13 in. pan (I have also used a 10X15 pan -- they will be thinner and don't cook them as long)

In a large mixing bowl beat together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth and light.

Add the eggs and the vanilla.

In a separate bowl combine the dry ingredients: salt, baking soda, baking powder, flour, rolled oats.

Add to the butter mixture and stir until combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Bake for 18-28 minutes depending on how chewy you like them. We usually only bake them in a 10X15 pan for 18-20 minutes and they look like this:

YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
