A delicious, soft bar cookie with a bit of caramel and hint of coffee. I substituted old fashioned rolled oatmeal for the whole wheat flour (this is Oaty Caramel Slice after all), reduced the baking soda, brown sugar and butter in the crust by half. I baked this moist dough in a 8x8 pan for just under 25 min. because it would have burned if I'd left it in any longer.
