I'm not a huge fan of oatmeal cookies, but these bars were actually pretty good. I might make them again sometime.

I followed the recipe exactly and my oatmeal cookie bars turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These bars were delicious! The only change I made was to use almond butter instead of peanut butter. They were a big hit at my potluck.

These oatmeal cookie bars were a hit with my family! They were easy to make and turned out perfectly gooey and chewy. I added a handful of raisins for extra sweetness and texture.
