Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 24 servings

  • ⅔ cup butter

  • 2 cups quick-cooking oats

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • ⅔ cup all-purpose flour

  • ¼ cup corn syrup

  • ¼ cup milk

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Filling:

  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (such as Nestle Toll House)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 cookie sheets with aluminum foil.

  2. Melt butter in a large saucepan. Remove from heat and mix in oats, sugar, flour, corn syrup, milk, vanilla, and salt until well combined. Drop by level teaspoonfuls 3 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets. Spread cookies out thin with a rubber spatula.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Cool on the cookie sheets.

  4. Meanwhile, place chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted and smooth, about 5 minutes.

  5. Peel foil from cookies. Spread melted chocolate on 1/2 of the cookies. Top with the remaining cookies.
