Love cookie bars? Here are some more tasty recipes to try: sugar cookie bars, M&M cookie bars, and chocolate chip cookie dough bars.
The Ultimate Cookie Bar…
These ‘Marry Me Cookie Bars’ are made with all of my favorite ingredients. Both white and semi-sweet chocolate chips, some warm spices, and rolled oats for the perfect texture! Anyone who tries a piece will be in love. These marry me bars are best served fresh out of the oven when they’re warm and gooey. I like them even more with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top! They’re the ultimate comfort dessert for any time of day. Treat yourself!
Ingredient List
Grab those classic cookie ingredients out of your pantry and let’s get baking! Exact measurements are in the recipe card below.
Rolled Oats: Add a chewy texture and nutty flavor to the bars. These get pulsed in a blender for a finer crumb. All-Purpose Flour: The base for our Marry Me Cookie Bars. Baking Powder & Baking Soda: These leavening agents work together to create a gentle rise. Salt: Just a pinch to make everything taste more delicious. Ground Cinnamon: The perfect cozy spice! If you love spiced treats, you can also add a little nutmeg. Unsalted Butter: For the perfect richness. Use room temperature butter so it mixes together well with the other ingredients. Sugars: I used both granulated and brown sugar for a deeper sweetness and toffee flavor. Light brown sugar will work, but I’ve found that dark brown sugar really takes the flavor of these cookie bars to the next level. Eggs: To bind everything together and make the marry me bars nice and chewy. Again, at room temperature. Milk: Adds a touch of moisture. Vanilla Extract: For an extra pop of flavor. I recommend using pure vanilla extract if you have it! Semi-Sweet & White Chocolate Chips: These chips add pockets of chocolatey goodness in every bite! Feel free to mix it up with your favorites. Milk chocolate, dark chocolate, butterscotch chips, your choice!
How to Make Marry Me Cookie Bars
Just as easy as making some cookies, if not easier because there’s no shaping involved! The trickiest part is waiting for your Marry Me Cookie Bars to come out of the oven. They smell soooo good!
Using Quick Oats Instead: Rolled oats in general can be replaced 1:1 with quick oats, but the Marry me bars will likely end up a bit more dry than if you used rolled oats. Don’t Overbake These Bars! They will still look slightly underdone in the center, but a toothpick should come out clean. As they cool in the pan, they will continue to cook. Mix-Ins: If you like coconut or nuts, add ½ cup of one or both to the dough at the same time as the chocolate chips. More Spice: The cinnamon is subtle, so if you would like it stronger then increase the cinnamon by 1 additional teaspoon.
These bars can also be frozen and kept in an airtight freezer container or a freezer ziplock for up to 3 months. Thaw them at room temperature for a couple of hours before serving.
