Ingredients

Cookie:

1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, softened

2 cups light brown sugar

2 large eggs

2 tsp vanilla

1/3 cup milk

2 1/2 cups flour

3 cups old-fashioned oats

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

Fudge:

1 can sweetened condensed milk

1 bag milk chocolate chips

1/3 cup salted butter

1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 9x13 pan.

2. In a medium bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar and eggs and mix well. Add the vanilla and milk and incorporate well. 

3. In a medium, separate bowl, combine the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well. Spread 2/3 of the mixture into the pan and set aside. 

4. In a medium saucepan, combine all of the ingredients for the fudge and let melt completely over medium heat. Once melted, pour over the prepared cookie mixture. 

5. Drop spoonfuls of the remaining cookie dough over the top of the fudge. It won't cover it completely, but will make for a pretty top. 

6. Place in oven and bake for 25 mins. If the top is getting browned after 15 mins, cover with foil. Let cool completely, so the insides don't run everywhere. This is not a rushed square it needs setting time.
