Oatmeal Toffee Cookie Bars
These soft and chewy oatmeal toffee bars are mouth-watering delicious. They're caramel-y and oatmeal-y & will have you coming back for more.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 cups dark brown sugar light brown is fine too, but dark brown takes it to the next level
- 4 eggs
- 4 teaspoons vanilla
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups flour
- 2 cups rolled oats- I use old fashioned but quick work just as well
- ****There is no typo. NO baking soda or baking powder go in these****
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350* F.
- Using a hand or stand mixer, beat softened butter with sugar on high until fluffy. About 2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla and beat on high until the mixture just starts to lighten in color. About a minute. Add flour and salt (I like to sprinkle the salt across the flour so it doesn't clump into one spot) and mix until just barely combined. Add oats and mix until just barely combined.
- Lightly grease a 9x13 pan and spread mixture across the pan evenly. Bake for 22-30 minutes. As soon as the top turns matte, it's done!
Notes
Want less? A half batch can easily be made and put into an 8x8 pan.
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. These also freeze really well. If frozen, thaw at room temperature for 1-2 hours.
*Can be made with browned butter! Make as directed above, but brown the butter first. To brown the butter: Simply place the butter in a sauce pan over medium heat until the butter starts foaming and turning brown. As soon as there are brown flecks all over the bottom of the saucepan, it's done. This takes about 5-7 minutes. This gives the bars a nutty, more toffee type taste instead of the caramel-y taste!
