• 1 3/4 cup [or 393.75 0.00] all-purpose flour
• 3/4 tsp [or 3.69669 0.00] baking soda
• 1/4 tsp [or 1.23223 0.00] salt
• 1 cup [or 225 0.00] oatmeal (quick oats or rolled oats)
• 3/4 cup [or 168.75 0.00] (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened
• 1/2 cup [or 112.5 0.00] granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup [or 112.5 0.00] lightly packed brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tsp [or 4.92892 0.00] vanilla extract
• 12 oz [or 340.2 0.00] semi sweet chocolate chunks or chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375F. Lightly coat a 9x13" baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
Whisk together dry ingredients in a small bowl and set aside. In a large bowl with a handheld electric mixer or a stand mixer, beat butter, sugars, egg and vanilla until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the dry ingredients and chocolate chips together. Mix until combined. Press into the prepared pan and bake for 18-20 minutes until light golden brown. Don't overbake! These bars are definitely better underbaked by just a few minutes rather than being overbaked so watch them carefully. Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into squares.
You may double this recipe and press the dough into a large 11x17" rimmmed sheet pan. They are delicious with any assortment of chocolate chips (butterscotch, mint, etc.).
