We've been hurriedly making new batches of treats for the last people on our gift delivery list (who were supposed to get candy. Except now they could, because we didn't have church today and so I have those 3 teachers' candy, but it wouldn't be enough for 3 offices. So we go on . . . ).
Sis begged to make the oatmeal chocolate bars from her Sesame Street cookie book, which she covets. And they turned out rather well. Better than the chocolate chip pan cookie, sans oatmeal, we were going to make. But the brownie recipe that I have cherished for years seems to sweet and not chocolatey enough to me now. The butterscotch bars are loved by people who like butterscotch, which doesn't include me.

Chocolate Chunk Oat Bars
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup packed light brown sugar
½ cup butter, softened
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 ½ cups uncooked old-fashioned oats
1 cup semisweet chocolate chunks or chips, divided
Preheat the oven to 375F. Lightly grease a 9” square baking pan.
Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Beat the sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Add the egg, water, and vanilla; beat until well blended.
Stir in the flour mixture and oats; mix well. Stir in ½ cup chocolate chunks. Spread the dough in the pan with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle wit the remaining ½ cup chocolate chunks.
Bake for about 30 minutes or just until the center feels firm. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
