How to Make Fran's Oatmeal Chocolate Cookie Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 7x11 inch baking dish.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened shortening and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ cup rolled oats. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, ¼ cup milk, and 2 tablespoons butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate is melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  6. Press all but 2 cups of the cookie dough into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Spread the cooled chocolate sauce evenly over the dough.
  8. Drop spoonfuls of the remaining cookie dough over the chocolate mixture.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
