Naughty or nice, this is one list you’ll want to be on!

Have you had a carmelita cookie bar before?

It’s basically an oat filled chocolate chip cookie, stuffed with caramel and topped with chocolate. Also known as pure cookie bliss.

I love that Pillsbury made a super easy version with their chocolate chip cookie dough, it’s so simple to make!

Just combine their ready made chocolate chip cookie dough with some oats and press a little more than half of the cookie dough into a pan and bake it.

Combine some salted caramel topping with a little flour and your caramel filling is ready to go!

Add a few chopped pecans to the remaining cookie dough and mix it together!

Spread that caramel topping over the cookie layer and then sprinkle the remaining cookie dough on top.

I mean, how easy is this!?!

I think the most difficult thing about this recipe is waiting for these bars to cool completely.

Make it look extra fancy with a drizzle of chocolate and a sprinkle of coarse salt.

I’m not kidding you when I say that these cookie bars are on high demand in our house! So good and that gorgeous caramel ribbon in the middle is to die for!
