These Brown-Sugar Oat Squares may not be too fancy, but they sure are good. And they couldn’t be easier to make– the dough is zipped up in the food processor in about a minute. They’re buttery little cookies, with flour, oats, brown sugar and some spices all whirled up in the processor. Pat that stuff into a pan, scatter some extra oats and turbinado over the top, and into the oven it goes.

I made half the recipe in my 6-inch square pan. I lined it with a parchment sling and just lifted the baked cookie slab out of the pan rather than flipping it out. There was still some oat topping loss while moving it around, but it was minimal. I cut my slab into 12 little pieces, so my squares are really rectangles, but they all taste the same. Mine are more crisp than chewy but I don’t mind and I can tell they’ll keep well in the tin through the week…as long as I pace myself.

If you don’t have the book Baking with Dorie: Sweet, Salty & Simple by Dorie Greenspan, get it and join us as we bake through it every second and fourth Tuesdays. Don’t forget to check out the rest of the TWD Blogroll!

I always admire your conversions to use smaller pans to make smaller quantities. They look delicious!

- it’s just two of us, so my 6″ round and square pans get lots of use!
