Oatmeal Caremelitas

Recipe courtesy of Becky, who has won our cookie exchange for the second year in a row with these amazing cookies!

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Stir together:
2 Cups Flour
2 Cups Oats (I use 1 cup instant, 1 cup old fashion)
1 1/2 Cups PACKED brown sugar
1 tsp baking soda (make sure its fresh!)
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup melted butter

Press 1/2 of the mix into 9X13 (or so) baking pan.

Bake 10 minutes (should look slightly puffed and golden).

Sprinkle 2 cups chocolate milk chocolate chips (one small bag is perfect).

Squeeze Caramel ice cream topping liberally over top (or make your own caramel: sugar, water, cream).

Layer remaining mix and loosely pack.

Bake for another 15 to 20 min (all choc should be melted).

COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE CUTTING!
