This weekend before heading to work, I decided I wanted to get my bake on. I like to try out new recipes for my work friends, so I tested out this recipe for Chocolate Oatmeal Cookie Bars. This recipe proved to be a low-medium on the frustration scale and tasty. I got all my ingredients ready and preheated my oven to 350. First, I combined my butter and sugars until creamy. Next, I added in my vanilla and eggs. Finally, I mixed in all my dry ingredients. I spread half of the oatmeal mixture into the pan. I sprinkled more chocolate chips on top of the oatmeal mixture and then topped the chocolate chips with the remaining oatmeal mixture. I popped it into the oven for about 26 minutes and it was ready to go. I really liked it- it tasty like a chewy oatmeal cookie. My work friends seemed to like it too, as most of it was gone after the weekend.
