Description
Oreo and Caramel Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars combine layers of chewy cookie dough, gooey caramel, and crunchy Oreos for a rich, indulgent dessert bar that’s easy to make and guaranteed to impress.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Additional chocolate chips for sprinkling
- 24 Double Stuf Oreos (4 rows of 6)
- 1 cup caramel sauce (jarred or homemade, thick preferred)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Beat until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Press half of the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Arrange the Oreos on top of the dough in four rows of six.
- Drizzle caramel sauce generously over the Oreos.
- Drop dollops of the remaining cookie dough over the top. Don’t worry about covering the Oreos completely; the dough will spread.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top. Let cool completely in the pan.
- For cleaner cuts, chill the bars before slicing into 32 pieces.
Notes
- Use thick caramel sauce to prevent excessive soaking into the dough.
- Chilling before slicing helps achieve clean, defined layers.
- You can substitute the oats with more flour if desired.
- Bars are best served at room temperature or slightly warmed.
- Double Stuf Oreos give extra creaminess, but regular Oreos work fine too.
