How to Make Loaded Cookies In A Cookie Bar

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups rolled oats, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. In the large bowl, beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons water.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  8. Fold in 1 cup chocolate chips, ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, and ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans work well).
  9. Spread half of the cookie dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  10. Sprinkle 1 cup crushed leftover cookies evenly over the dough.
  11. Spread the remaining cookie dough over the cookie crumbles.
  12. Top with ½ cup chopped candy pieces (e.g., M&Ms, Heath bar pieces).
  13. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  14. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into bars.
