How to Make Oatmeal Dad's Cookie Squares
- Crush 2 dozen (about 24) oatmeal cookies into crumbs using a food processor or blender. Add 1/4 cup (59ml) melted unsalted butter and mix well.
- Reserve 1/4 cup (approximately 30g) of the cookie crumb mixture for topping. Press the remaining mixture into a greased 8x8 inch (20x20cm) baking pan.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes at 350°F (175°C), or until lightly golden.
- Let the crust cool completely.
- Melt 3 ounces (85g) of semi-sweet chocolate and 1/4 cup (59ml) unsalted butter in a double boiler or microwave (in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth).
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 large egg until well combined.
- Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups (180g) powdered sugar and 1/2 cup (60g) chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended).
- Spread the chocolate mixture evenly over the cooled crust. Sprinkle the reserved cookie crumbs over the top.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm, before slicing into squares.
