Sometimes, when you need a pick-me-up, you need to look no further than the oven. A little something sweet — with chocolate, of course — is enough to snap anyone out of the doldrums.
So, here's one of my easiest, yummiest recipes.
In junior high, my friend Heather and I would stay up all night and at exactly midnight, would make these cookie bars. Then, we'd go back to trying to dance along to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video. Good times, good times.
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cups oatmeal
12 ounce package chocolate chips
About 12-15 Oreo cookies, cut into quarters
This recipe comes together easily, and it's a nice bonus that you just spread the batter all in a pan rather than pull cookie sheets in and out of the oven.
Our basic version called for chocolate chips, but I like to pimp them out with Oreos, too.
