Time 45m

Yield 32 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
one 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats (quick-cooking or old-fashioned)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter a 9x13-inch pan with parchment paper, allowing enough overhang on the long side to lift the bars from the pan.
  • Prepare the gooey chocolate filling: Place the chocolate chips and condensed milk in a small saucepan over the lowest possible heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the chocolate has melted and the mixture has thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, add vanilla, and stir until smooth. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • Prepare the cookie dough: Place the butter and sugars in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the egg, egg yolk and vanilla. Beat well. Whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Add to the butter mixture. Beat until everything is well incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Prepare the bars: Using half of the batch of cookie dough, place dollops into the prepared pan and press down lightly to even it out. Pour the cooled chocolate mixture over the dough and then add small dollops of the remaining dough on top. Don't worry if the dollops don't completely cover the chocolate mixture. Just spread it together as much as you can, and let some chocolate peek through.
  • Bake until lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside to cool completely, then cut into 32 bars.
  • These are easiest to cut when they have chilled for a while. You'll be able to get nice, clean cuts when they're firmer, then they'll soften up a bit when they're at room temperature again.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your chip bars. Use real butter, pure vanilla extract, and good-quality chocolate chips.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bars until they are just set. If you bake them too long, they will be dry and crumbly. Insert a toothpick into the center of the bars. If it comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, they are done.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the bars for up to 2 months.
