1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Drape a 9 by 13-inch pan with overlapping pieces of aluminum foil, creating handles for easy removal. Butter the paper, and reserve.

Pulse, pulse, pulse until the mixture forms clumps when pressed between your fingers. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Press half of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan in an even layer, reserve the other half. Bake in the preheated oven just until slightly golden and set, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely.

Spread evenly over the baked and cooled oatmeal mixture. Sprinkle the remaining half of the oatmeal mixture over the cream cheese. Bake until the top is golden, about 40 minutes.
  • Cool and chill before cutting. Run a knife around the edge of the pan, and using the foil handles, transfer the bars to a cutting board. Cut into 2-inch squares with a sharp knife and serve.
  • Call yourself a superstar!!!
  • Cook's Note: For a delicious and healthy variation of this recipe, try replacing the butterscotch chips with tasty dried cranberries.

OATMEAL BUTTERSCOTCH BARS



Oatmeal Butterscotch Bars image

This recipe was featured in an email from Cooks Illustrated: "Most recipes for this bake-sale favorite combine oatmeal cookie dough with a bag of butterscotch chips. We found these versions far too sweet, and we wanted a chewier, less crumbly texture. Most of us also objected to the unnatural taste of the chips. Here's what we discovered: Test Kitchen Discoveries Melting the butterscotch chips before whisking them into the dough helps eliminate their unnatural flavor. To combat the sweetness of the butterscotch chips, we used less sugar. Melting the butter (instead of creaming it, as most cookie recipes require) produced a chewy texture.

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.
