Whole Wheat Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
Summertime parties and cookouts are right around the corner and everyone needs a good cookie bar recipe to share with friends and family. A simple one bowl, one pan recipe packed with three kinds of chocolate chips is always a crowd pleaser. When you are hosting or attending a gathering, cookie bars are an easy, on-the-go dessert that both kids and adults love. The only problem is that these cookie bars are so good that they may not even last the car ride to the party.
Your little kitchen helper will love pouring ingredients into the bowl and taste testing the chocolate chips. I opted to use whole wheat flour, but all-purpose flour can also be used. Additionally, I found a bag of tri-chocolate chips in the store, so no need to buy individual bags.
