Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, mix the rolled oats, flour, baking soda, and salt until combined.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.

Notes
For a thicker bar, chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking. Store in an airtight container for 3-5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
