Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 15x10x1-inch baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat 14 Tbsp of butter (reserving the extra two for later), and brown sugar until well blended. Add in baking soda, eggs and vanilla extract. Beat until combined. Add flour and oats and mix until blended. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk and 2 Tbsp butter. Heat over low heat until butter is melted. Fold in butterscotch morsels and stir constantly until melted and smooth.
Press 2/3 of cookie dough into bottom of baking sheet. Keep pressing with your fingertips, it will fit, honest!! Pour butterscotch mixture over top of cookie dough and spread evenly. Drop remaining dough by teaspoon over the top (will not cover completely, that's okay).
Bake for 25-28 minutes until browned. Cool completely. Cut and enjoy. Store in airtight container (best when chilled)!
Notes
Use a 15 x 10 X 1 inch cookie sheet for this recipe to ensure you get an even layer of cookie dough base and that the pan can hold the layers. Line it with parchment paper to make it easy to remove the bars – and make clean up easy too!
Press out the cookie dough layer evenly. Make sure to get the cookie dough base into all the edges and corners of your pan. Try to ensure the bottom layer is spread as evenly as possible, so your cookie base has an even thickness throughout.
Cool completely before you cut. This allows the fudgy layer to fully set up before you slice the bars.
Chill in the fridge before serving. They are SO good when chilled!
