I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Oatmeal Cookie Bars

Can't decide if you want a cookie or a bar but know for sure you don't really want alot of work to get them? Then this recipe is what you DO want!


Ingredients:

1 cup butter or margarine, at room temperature
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup egg whites
2 tsps vanilla

1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2 cups oats

1  1/2 cups chocolate chips

Mix butter, brown sugar and white sugar together, then add the egg whites and vanilla. 

In another bowl mix the dry ingredients with 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips.

Combine both the wet and dry ingredients and spread 1/2 the mixture into the bottom of a greased 13 X 9 baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup chocolate chips over that layer. Dollop tablespoonfuls of the remaining dough on top carefully spreading it with your fingers. Some of the chocolate chips might peek through, that's ok.


Bake at 350 F for 25-30 minutes. Cool and cut into bars.



This will satisfy your craving for either a cookie or a bar.
