Bar Cookie Dessert for A Crowd

To me, a crowd-pleasing dessert recipe is best made in a sheet pan. A recipe on a large cookie sheet allows you to make the most servings because you can slice it into as many pieces as you’d like.

You can cut this recipe into 24 servings or more, depending on the size of each slice.

This recipe is also easy to transport and store. You can serve it directly out of the sheet pan or cover it with a lid or plastic wrap to take to your next event.

What You Need to Make Caramel Chocolate Chip Bar Cookies

• 2 cups butter
• 2 cups light brown sugar
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 cups old-fashioned oats

How to Make Caramel Chocolate Chip Bar Cookies

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cream together butter and brown sugar. Add flour, old-fashioned oats, salt, and baking soda and pulse until dough forms.
3. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
4. Prepare an 18” x 26 cookie sheet with cooking spray and parchment paper.
5. Press half the dough into the cookie sheet, keeping the layer flat. Then, add the caramel bits to the top of the dough and press them into place. Finally, add the remaining cookie dough over the top, pressing it into a single layer.
6. Bake for 20-22 minutes, until the edges are golden brown. Cool, cut, and enjoy!
