Notes

  1. Any kind of chocolate chips will work in this recipe, but I used dark semi sweet.
  2. You can dot extra chocolate over the cookie dough once you have pressed it into the pan.
  3. These bars are not chewy, but more oat like with the texture of a scone almost. 
  4. These freeze really well.  Just make sure you let them cool completely before freezing.  Also, use an airtight container so they don't get freezer burn.
