Description

These bars are much like a NY bakery's milk bar crack pie, only easier to make because they start with store bought oatmeal cookies. They are so good, you may need to hide a few for yourself.

Ingredients

• Crust:
• 7 oz. store bought oatmeal cookies, preferably crispy, not chewy and not iced
• 2 T. melted butter
• 1 1/2 t. brown sugar
• pinch of salt
• Filling:
• 1/2 c. butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
• 1/2 c. dark brown sugar
• 1/2 c. granulated sugar
• 4 egg yolks
• 1 t. vanilla extract
• 1/3 c. heavy cream
• 2 T. powdered milk
• 2 T. cornstarch
• 1/4 t. salt
• Topping:
• 1-2 T. powdered sugar

Steps

1. Crust:
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 × 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, with an overhang to make lifting out the finished bars easy.
3. Crush cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor, or by placing them in a large freezer bag and using a rolling pin to roll them into fine crumbs.
