When I showed my daughter Isabelle the food blog, she looked at it and immediately said "Mom, you have to put our chocolate layer cookie in there--it's Soph's and my favorite comfort food!"
This bar cookie has been in my family for years. My aunt used to make it for holidays, and it made its way into our family's holiday cookies as well. It's easy, rich, dense, chocolatey and yes, very comforting with a glass of milk or cup of tea. I used to only make it around Christmas time, but now it's made fairly regularly when knees are scraped, homework is unbearable, or when we just decide to cuddle up and watch a movie together.
So from our kitchen with love, the Mountain Family Chocolate Layer Cookie.....
1 cup flour
1 cup oatmeal
1 cup brown sugar
1 stick butter or margarine
Mix all ingredients together in a food processor, or in a bowl until a soft crumble is formed. Remove 1/2 cup for later, and press the rest of the crust mixture into a buttered 9X12 inch pan. Bake at 350F for 10 minutes, remove from oven and sprinkle over crust:
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts
1 cup flaked sweetened coconut
1/2 cup crumbled crust mixture
Spread the above ingredients over the crust and press down lightly into crust. Drizzle one can sweetened condensed milk over topping bake at 350F for 20 minutes. Remove and let cool, cut into bars. Enjoy!
