My oatmeal chocolate chip cookies<\/a> have been a reader favorite for years. It’s a quick and easy recipe that’s nearly foolproof, but like most of my cookie recipes it does require chilling the dough before rolling it into balls and baking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These oatmeal cookie bars deliver the same soft and chewy results, but because the cookie dough is baked in a 9×13-inch pan you get to skip the entire chilling and shaping process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I kept this recipe super simple by using just chocolate chips in the dough, but you’re welcome to get creative by adding any mix-ins you like. Chocolate chunks, chopped nuts, raisins \u2014 just about anything will work! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serve these oatmeal chocolate chip cookie bars straight from the pan, or add individual bars to care packages or holiday cookie boxes. There’s no bad time to bake these oatmeal cookie bars! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
