INSTRUCTIONS
I've been making these since I was 10 years old. They are perfect for that school/holiday bake sale. They also freeze well. Just wrap each one in plastic wrap and the place them in a freezer bag.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Grease and flour 13x9 pan
2 sticks butter/margarine at room temp
3/4c light brown sugar
3/4c granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cold water
1 1/2c all purpose flour
1 1/2c uncooked oatmeal
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 12oz bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips
Cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Combine flour, soda, and salt and set aside. Add eggs, vanilla, and water to sugar mixture and mix until well incorporated. Add flour mixture in 2 batches and mix on low until incorporated.(Batter will be stiff) Add oatmeal and mix in by hand. By hand, mix in 1 cup of chips. Spread in greased and floured 13x9 pan. Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top. Bake for 3 minutes in 350 degree oven. Remove pan and marblize chocolate. Return to oven and continue baking for 20 minutes or until golden brown with middle set but not dry. Cool completely in pan then cut it bars. Makes approx 24 bars.
