Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars. True story: I was once on national television… in my underwear. It was when I was 5 years old, on a popular children’s show similar to Sesame Street. The goal of the segment was to teach young children how to get dressed by themselves: this was in the early 90s, therefore footage is thankfully not immortalized online. Possibly even more fun than the filming process was when the show aired and everyone reconvened for a viewing party.

One child’s mother brought in three plates of gooey chocolate chip cookie bars for the occasion, and not a single person left that day without having asked for the recipe. The bars would become a staple in my childhood home for many years afterwards. Today’s recipe is a healthy makeover of those addictive chocolate chip cookie bars.

His name was Zozo, and he enjoyed getting me into trouble. Some of his antics included drawing on the walls of my room with permanent marker, telling the babysitter I had no bedtime, pulling my little sister’s hair, and sneaking so many tastes of cookie dough while baking that very few cookies were actually ever made. Somehow, my parents never bought the excuse it was my imaginary friend behind all of this mischief.

By the way, my childhood imaginary friend is still around and causing trouble. Only now the trouble comes in the form of convincing me it’s a good idea to watch Netflix instead of going to the gym or doing the dishes. And he still eats the raw cookie dough while we’re baking, until suddenly I will look up and all the batter has disappeared. Seriously, this guy is evil.

Oh my gosh you guys. I cannot even begin to tell you how IN LOVE I am with these AMAZING pretzels!! Oh. My. Word. They’re soft, they’re chewy, they’re buttery. Okay, let’s get started. :) I always love getting together with bloggy friends, but I especially love it when we can get together and bake!! Here’s the kind of yeast we used.

And let sit for about five minutes until the yeast “blooms” and it looks like this. Next add the flour and salt and mix on low speed until just combined. Like so. Switch to the dough hook and knead on medium speed for 3-4 minutes until the dough is smooth and begins to pull away from the side of the bowl.

Perfect! Coat a bowl with a little vegetable oil, add the dough, and turn to coat the dough with oil. Meanwhile, we’ll make the salted caramel sauce. Whisk constantly. It’s starting to melt!
