Ingredients:
- 3 cups Large Flake Quaker® Oats or Quick Quaker® Oats (uncooked)
- 2-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
- 1/2 pound (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee powder or instant espresso coffee
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 3/4 cup spoon-able caramel ice cream topping
- 2 tablespoons very hot milk
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee powder or instant espresso coffee
- 1 cup powdered sugar
How to make it:
- Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease 15 x 10‑inch jelly roll pan.
- In large bowl, combine oats, flour, 1 cup pecans, baking soda and salt; mix well. Set aside.
- In large bowl, beat sugar and butter with electric mixer until creamy. In small bowl, whisk eggs with coffee powder and vanilla until well blended. Add to butter mixture; continue beating until light and fluffy. Stir in oat mixture; mix well. (Dough will be very thick.) Reserve 2 cups for topping; set aside.
- Using lightly floured hands, press remaining oat mixture evenly onto bottom of pan. Spread caramel topping evenly over crust to within 1/4 inch from edges. Drop spoonfuls of reserved dough over caramel topping; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup pecans.
- Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until centre feels firm when lightly touched. (Do not over bake.) Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
- For glaze, combine milk and coffee powder in small bowl; stir until coffee powder dissolves.
- Add powdered sugar; stir until smooth. Drizzle over cookies in pan. Let stand 15 minutes to set glaze. Cut into bars or other shapes. Store tightly covered.
