OATMEAL COOKIE
1
2
Preheat oven to 350ºF
3
In a mixing bowl, whisk together both the granulated sugar and the brown sugar.
4
Use an electric mixer to beat the butter and sugar together until fluffy and pale.
5
Bake for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
6
Add the egg and beat until thoroughly incorporated.
7
Dump in the flour, oats, and baking soda. Mix well.
8
Grease a parchment-lined 9" x 13" baking pan with nonstick spray. Spread the cookie dough out in the pan.
9
Dump in the brown sugar, salt, and butter. Mix well by hand.
10
Drop in the butter. You may need to mix by hand at first to avoid making a mess.
11
Crush the cookie to crumbs.
12
Bake for 30 minutes
13
Transfer the mixture into a baking pan. I used a large springform pan, but a regular pie pan will work great. Press the mixture out to form an even layer on the bottom and up the sides of the pan.

2
Whisk in the melted butter. Mix well.

Spread the filling out in the crust. Smooth out the top with a spatula.
