Ingredients

• 170 grams unsalted butter
• 200 grams light brown sugar, packed
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 190 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 240 grams rolled oats
• 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 100 grams dark chocolate bar, chopped
• 1 teaspoon optional flaky sea salt for topping

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Step 5

Gently fold in the rolled oats, chocolate chips, and chopped dark chocolate until evenly incorporated.

Step 6

Spread the cookie dough evenly in the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.

Step 8

Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 9

Optional: Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the top while the bars are still warm for an extra layer of flavor.

Step 10

Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Slice into 16 squares and serve.
