I can't be the only one not to post... Even though I was the last one. So here is a Pato recipe for you. We got tired of having to bake so many trays of cookies, so we decided to make cookie bars. A big hit at our house.
Disclaimer: Pato rarely uses recipes and he slightly changes the ingredients pretty much every time; but here is the base recipe.
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter (one stick)
1/2 cup shortening
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
1 cup oats
1tsp salt
1tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder (if you feel like it, it's not necessary)
Chocolate chips (we mix in a few butterscotch chips sometimes too)
Standard cookie recipe here. Cream butter, shortening and sugar. Add eggs and mix. Add dry ingredients and mix. Tip: Mix in the chocolate chips by hand, a Kitchen aid will just smoosh them between the bowl and the mixing paddle. Take a small portion of the dough and give to any kids that helped.
Baking: This is where the fun begins. We have a convection oven and Pat cooks it at 320 degrees for about 25-28 minutes, depending on how it looks. I'm guessing that for a regular oven you could put the temp to 325 degrees and bake it for about 32-35 minutes or so (pull it out earlier if it burns).
Voila!! Cookie bars.

Awesome! Thanks for posting, Kacey {ahem . . Pato}. This looks like a totally easy way to make cookies. Reminds me of those giant cookie cakes.
