White Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookie Dough Bars Recipe
This White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookie Dough Bars Recipe is amazing! The official name for these bars is: White Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookie Dough Bars but that’s quite a mouthful! I’ve shortened the name down a bit because, really, I would never be able to remember all of that! The flavor of these bars, however, is another story. Soft, chewy, and very, very rich, it’s a fantastic accompaniment to coffee! It helps to cut the richness a bit. Otherwise, pour a tall glass of milk, and prepare for a cookie bar like none other!
Our boys, of course, love these by any name, in any way, shape, or form! They do like to have a glass of milk handy. When it is the season for holiday cookie trays, I love to use a mixture of our favorite bars and cookie recipes. These bulky, soft, and chunky bars certainly make a statement. They stand out nicely with their white, textured surface among the more holiday-themed items. They always get rave reviews.
I’m always looking for fast to fix recipes that are real show-stoppers. I did slightly alter the original recipe to include white chocolate chunks, not white chocolate chips, and to solve an issue of frosting dryness. The end result? Perfection! In fact, I think you could reduce the frosting recipe by half and still end up with excellent results. I have not tested that variation yet, but I think it would be a good idea. This certainly is not your normal brownie, these cookie dough bars are a decadent dessert! From Picky Palate.

I made a slight variation. My frosting turned out very dry and crumbly. I added the Milk (and also an extra 4 Tablespoons of Butter). I think, however, that just the addition of the Milk will create the desired result.
These are very rich. Slice into small squares to serve.
