I’ve said it before - I can be quite lazy. Not in all aspects of my life, but I do get especially lazy when making cookies at my boyfriend’s place without a mixer. Yes, creaming butter and sugar by hand gives you a pretty good upper body workout. But no, I’ve never really enjoyed working out. So after mixing the batter, I’m pretty tired, and I don’t want to scoop out the dough into a million little balls. I’d rather just lie on the couch and wait for my cookies to bake. Hence the one thousandth variation of cookie bars I’ve made. I like the fact I can plop the batter in the pan and walk away. Man, I really am lazy!

Ingredients:
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/4 cup flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup oats
1 cup chopped pistachios
1 cup white chocolate chips
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray cooking spray along the sides and bottom of a 9”x9” pan, and set it aside.
Cream together your sugars and butter. Add in the egg, milk, and vanilla, and continue to mix.
Add in the flour, baking soda and powder, salt and oats and mix until thoroughly incorporated. The dough will be very thick.
Lastly, fold in your chocolate and nuts (reserve a handful of the chopped nuts for the next step.
Spread the batter across the bottom of the prepared pan and top them with the handful of reserved chopped pistachios.
Pop the pan in the oven to bake for about 35 minutes. Test the cookies by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cookies. If the toothpick comes out clean, your cookies are done. The top of the cookies will be golden brown.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the cookies to cool in order to fully set up in the middle. Once cooled, cut the cookies into squares and enjoy!
