I was inspired by something I saw on Pinterest. But I didn't want to take the time to wrap dough around all those cookies, because my parents were in town and I wanted to go see them. So whether laziness, hurriedness, or daughterly devotion is to blame, I created these bars instead. Enjoy!
Chocolate Chip Oreo™ Bar Cookies
2 sticks butter, melted
2 c. brown sugar (because of the Oreos™, they actually don't need this much sugar)
2 T. vanilla extract
2 eggs
3 c. flour (I might use less next time because these were stiff bar cookies)
1 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
2 c. chocolate chips
Approximately 30 Oreo™ cookies, crushed
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Cream melted butter, sugar, and vanilla. Beat in eggs. Add flour, soda, and salt. Stir in chocolate chips; fold in Oreos™.
Spread in a lightly greased 10 x 15" pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, but do not over bake.
*If you don't want a full 10 x 15" pan of these, cut the cookie dough ingredients in half and use half the Oreos™. Bake in a 9 x 13" pan.
*Alternatively, bake these as cookies.
Next time, I might add Oreos™ to brownie batter. ☺
