• Ingredients: 13
• Serves: 24

ingredients

• 1 (12 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips (Aunt Edna used just 6 oz)
• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup butter
• 2 cups brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 2 1⁄2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3 cups oatmeal (I used 1/2 quick and 1/2 regular)
• 1⁄2 cup nuts (optional)

directions

1. Using a double boiler melt chocolate chips in with the condensed milk and margarine.
2. Add vanilla and set aside until cookie batter is ready.
3. Cream butter and brown sugar together.
4. Add eggs and 2 teaspoons vanilla and mix.
5. Sift together flour, salt, and baking soda.
6. Add along with oatmeal and optional nuts to egg mixture.
7. Mix just until blended.
8. Press 2/3 of this mixutre onto bottom of greased 11x15 jelly roll pan or if you like them thicker, a 9x13 baking dish.
9. I found it easier to press if I wet my hand just a little. The batter didn't stick to my fingers.
10. Pour chocolate mixture over oatmeal mixture and spread.
11. Grab remaining cookie mixture and crumble over the chocolate.
12. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Should be a nice golden brown color.
