🍪 Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Oat Cookie Bars 🍫

Ingredients

For the Homemade Salted Caramel:
3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp (90g) water
4 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter, sliced
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp (100g) heavy cream, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
A hefty pinch of kosher salt
7 tbsp (60g) all-purpose flour

For the Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough:
1 cup (95g) quick oats
1 1/4 cup (165g) all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 cup (110g) unsalted butter, room temp
1 cup (210g) dark brown sugar, packed
1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup (85g) semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup (130g) dark chocolate chips
3/4 cup (95g) walnuts or pecans, finely chopped (optional)
Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

Make the Salted Caramel:
Prep Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients for the caramel. It’s important to have everything ready because you’ll need to work quickly once you start cooking. Ensure your heavy cream is at room temperature.
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, add the sugar and water. Stir gently to mix, but don’t touch it again! Place it over medium heat and watch it bubble away.
Once the mixture turns clear and bubbly, keep an eye on it as it transitions to a lovely amber color. When it’s ready, take it off the heat and whisk in the butter.
Slowly add the warm heavy cream while whisking until it’s smooth. Stir in the vanilla and salt, then mix in the flour. Set the caramel aside to cool.
Make the Oatmeal Cookie Dough:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 baking dish, lining it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix the oats, flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this aside while you prepare the wet ingredients.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and dark brown sugar until smooth. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla, mixing until well combined.
Gradually add the dry mixture, stirring until just combined. Just before it’s fully mixed, fold in the semisweet chocolate chips.

Assemble the Bars:
Press about 2/3 of the cookie dough into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top it with an even layer of chopped nuts if you’re using them, and bake for 8 minutes. Put the remaining dough in the fridge.
After 8 minutes, remove the crust from the oven and sprinkle the dark chocolate chips over the top. Carefully pour the salted caramel over everything, ensuring it’s spread evenly.
Dot the remaining cookie dough over the caramel layer, and return to the oven for another 20-25 minutes, or until it’s lightly golden.

Cool and Slice:
Let the bars cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for about an hour. When ready, lift them out of the pan, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, slice, and enjoy!

Notes & Tips for Customization:
Nut-Free Option: Feel free to omit the nuts or substitute with your favorite seeds.
Chocolate Variety: Swap the dark chocolate for milk or white chocolate if that’s more your style.
Add a Twist: A dash of cinnamon or a hint of coffee in the cookie dough adds a lovely depth of flavor!
