Servings - 12 bars

Ingredients 

  • 3/4 cup butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla (or use homemade vanilla extract!)
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup caramel 'bits'
  • 1 Tbsp coarse sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350. Line an 8x8 or 7x11-inch glass baking dish with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Combine the melted butter, brown sugar and vanilla in small sauce pan.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats and baking soda. Mix the butter mixture in with the dry ingredients and form a loose batter. Press half of the batter into the base of the prepared baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Let cool for a few minutes, then top with the chocolate chips and caramel 'bits.' (If your store doesn't have the 'bits' you can cut caramel pieces into 4 small squares.) Sprinkle about 1 1/2 tsp sea salt in with the chocolate and caramel bits.
  • Take the remaining 'batter' and crumble it up and drop it on top of the chocolate and caramels. Sprinkle the remaining sea salt over the batter.
  • Bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until top begins to golden. Let cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and enjoying the gooey-goodness from the cookie bars.
