Vanilla bean and brown butter chocolate-chunk cookie bars from By Heart: Recipes to Hold Near and Dear (page 266) by Hailee Catalano

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Delicious! Added caramel chips. I would recommend baking it less time - mine were done at 30 minutes. Next time I would even take them out a few minutes earlier

    My family loves these - the vanilla flavor really comes out and the oats give great flavor and chew

    These came out scrumptious! May have finished the pan with my husband in a single day, that’s how good they were. Great instructions for browning the butter. The browned butter really comes through and gives these bars a premium flavor. I also appreciated the tip on making oat flour by blending up rolled oats. I’ll be implementing that method any time a recipe calls for oat flour.
