Description

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 x 8-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a large bowl, add the butter and melt most of the way.
• Add in the brown sugar and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
• Add in the oats, baking soda, salt, and flour. Mix.
• Take half of this mixture and press it firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned at the edges.
• Meanwhile, place the biscoff spread in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds.
• When the bottom layer is done baking, remove and sprinkle the chocolate chips over it.
• Slowly, pour the biscoff evenly over the chocolate chips.
• Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over top of everything.
• Bake for another 14-20 minutes or until lightly browned at the edges. (Mine always takes right around 16 minutes)
• Remove and allow to cool. The cookie butter will be very gooey and soft at first, these bars take a while to be firm -- allow to completely cool before cutting.
