Cookies with a Chocolate Layer

Oven preheat at 350°

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combing sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, butter and salt. Cook, stirring often until melted and then remove from heat.

In another bowl, mix flour (I used gluten free flour) oats, baking powder and salt.

In another bowl beat butter, sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add eggs 1 out a time beating well after each addition. Add flour mixture and mix until just combined.

Spread about half the cookie dough into a prepared pan (greased) in an even layer, then spread chocolate filling on top. Scatter remaining cookie dough on top.

Bake until set and lightly golden on top. Approximately 35 – 40 minutes.
