Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks / 227 g) unsalted butter, browned, slightly cooled
- 1 ⅓ cups (267 g) light brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups (281 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup (90 g) old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup (168 g) white chocolate chips, divided
- 1 cup (168 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
For Topping (Optional)
- Extra White Chocolate & Semi-Sweet Chocolate, chopped
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking, stirring often and scraping the bottom, until it foams and turns a deep golden-brown with a nutty aroma, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly, about 10 to 15 minutes, so it doesn’t scramble the eggs.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 15x10x1-inch rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, whisk the cooled butter-sugar mixture with the eggs and vanilla until smooth and well combined.
- Stir in the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the oats and most of the chocolate chips, reserving about ¼ to ⅓ cup total for topping.
- Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan. It will be thick. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top and gently press them in.
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center looks set but still slightly soft. Do not overbake; the bars will continue to set as they cool.
- Optional: Sprinkle the top with chopped white chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate chips while the bars are still warm. Let them melt slightly into the surface for extra gooey chocolate pockets.
- Let cool in the pan completely on a wire rack before lifting out and cutting into bars.
