Recipe Introduction


This recipe makes a big panful, so you can cut the cooled cookie in half, wrap one portion in foil and freeze it for another time.


List of Ingredients




1 cup butter, divided
2 cups packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
3 cups quick-cooking oats
1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk, (not evaporated milk)
2 cups hershey's semi-sweet chocolate chips, (12-ounce package)
1 cup sliced blue diamond almonds, divided
2 tsp vanilla extract


Recipe



1 Heat oven to 350°F. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the butter. Beat the remaining butter in large bowl on medium to high speed of mixer for 30 seconds. Add brown sugar; beat until combined. Beat in eggs and 2 teaspoons vanilla. Stir together flour and baking soda in another large bowl; stir in oats. Gradually stir flour mixture into beaten mixture. Set aside.
2 Combine reserved 2 tablespoons butter, the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips in medium saucepan. Cook over low heat until chocolate melts, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Stir in 3/4 cup of the almonds and 2 teaspoons vanilla.
3 Press two-thirds (about 3 1/3 cups) of the oat mixture onto the bottom of ungreased 15 1/2x10 1/2x1-inch jelly-roll pan. Spread chocolate mixture over the oat mixture. Using your fingers, dot remaining oat mixture over the chocolate. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup almonds.
4 Bake about 25 minutes or until top is lightly browned (chocolate mixture will still look moist). Cool in pan on a wire rack. Cut into 2x1-inch bars.
5 Makes about 75 bars.
