Instructions

For the oatmeal cookie

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350F and grease and line an 8×8 square baking dish with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl using a hand or stand mixer with the paddle attachment, add the butter and sugar and mix on medium-high speed until light and creamy.

Step 4

Mix in the eggs and vanilla, then scrape down the bowl and mix again until smooth.

Step 5

Pour in the dry ingredients and mix on low speed. Mix in the pecans right before the dry ingredients are fully incorporated. Then use a rubber spatula to mix in any dry bits that might be sitting at the bottom of the bowl. Set aside.

For the chocolate fudge

Step 6

Add all of the ingredients to a heat-safe dish and microwave in 30 second intervals until smooth. It shouldn’t take more than 60-90 seconds.

Step 7

Press about 2/3 of the cookie dough into the bottom of the baking dish. It will be a bit sticky so I recommend spritzing your fingers with some nonstick spray.

Step 8

Spread the fudge in an even layer over the oatmeal cookie base, then crumble the rest of the oatmeal cookie dough on top.

Step 9

Bake at 350F for 22-25 minutes, or until the tops of the oat cookie are a pale golden brown.

Step 10

Allow the bars to cool at room temperature for about 45 minutes. Then slice and enjoy!
