Ingredients

For the oatmeal-cookie layer:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 egg, room temperature
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon saltFor the chocolate-fudge layer:
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk (half of a 14-ounce can)
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F, and grease an 8×8-inch square pan. To make the oat layer, beat butter and sugar, then add vanilla extract and eggs, followed by oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Divide the oatmeal cookie dough in half. Press half into the baking pan, and reserve the other. To make the fudge, in a double boiler, stir together the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and butter. Mix in salt and vanilla extract. Spread the fudge mixture over the oatmeal cookie layer, then crumble the remaining cookie dough on top. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool completely before slicing and serving.
