Somewhat Healthier Chocolate Chip Bar Cookies

Chocolate Chip Bar Cookies with Coconut Oil, Coconut Sugar & Oatmeal Flour 1 C. butter 1 C. coconut oil 2 C. coconut/palm sugar 1 C. brown sugar 4 eggs 1 TBSP vanilla 2 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. salt 3 ¼ C. oatmeal flour (I grind up steal cut oats in blendtec for this) 1 ¼ C. cake/bread/regular flour 4 C. chocolate chips Cream together butter, oils, sugars, eggs, vanilla (note the extra vanilla- we kind of love it here, so we use extra in most recipes!). Then mix in dry ingredients (flour, salt, soda) until it's all well blended.  Add the chocolate chips last- we've been using 60% cocoa ghirardelli chips.  They're "dark"- so if you don't like bitter sweet or slightly stronger than semi-sweet- you may of course use milk chocolate. Spread into jelly roll pan and bake at 325° for 10 minutes.  While it's still in the oven raise temperature to 350° for 13 minutes.  If they're done enough in the middle for you at this point
