OATMEAL COOKIE BARS



Oatmeal Cookie Bars image

These are easily the best homemade oatmeal cookie bars we've ever had, and that's really saying something! This recipe is simple to make and has all the essentials - chopped nuts, chocolate chips, high quality Gold Medal™ flour, and whole-grain oats. We love the ease of making oatmeal cookie bars because they have the chewy texture and flavor of an oatmeal cookie, but they take only 10 minutes to prep and use only one pan in the oven. Add extra indulgence by drizzling a little melted chocolate over these once they are cool and before you cut out the bars.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients:
  • This helps the ingredients blend together more easily and creates a smoother batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter:
  • Overmixing can make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking:
  • Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature:
  • This helps the cookies get a chewy texture.
  • Don't overbake the cookies:
  • Overbaking can make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Add mix-ins:
  • You can add mix-ins such as chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit to the batter.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container:
  • This will help keep the cookies fresh for up to a week.

Conclusion:

Chewy cherry-vanilla oatmeal cookie bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for a snack or dessert, and they're also great for packing in lunches. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your cookie bars turn out perfect every time. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
