Thank You Barb :)

 Melt together:

1 (12 oz.) pkg. chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet)

2 Tbls. butter

1 can sweetened condensed milk

1 tsp. vanilla

(I usually just heat up the sweetened condensed milk and add the chocolate chips, then mix until just some of the chips are melted - I like a few chunks of chocolate!)

Spread this mixture over the oatmeal mixture in the pan.  Sprinkle rest of oatmeal mixture over the top.  Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until the top is set.

These cookies freeze well - I just let them cool, then layer between wax paper in a sealed container - they will freeze for up to two months!
