Once cooled, half the cookies are dipped in smooth, melted milk chocolate and sandwiched together, creating a sturdy yet delicate bite. The combination of the crunchy, caramelized oat cookie and the creamy chocolate coating is perfect for holiday gift boxes, afternoon tea, or as a sweet ending to a dinner party. They are easier to make than they look and disappear quickly when served with friends and family.

Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC). Line two large baking sheets with aluminum foil.
-
In a medium saucepan, melt butter over low heat.
-
Remove saucepan from heat. Stir in oats, sugar, flour, corn syrup, milk, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
-
Drop heaping teaspoonfuls of the oat mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 3 inches apart.
-
Gently spread each portion into a thin, round shape using the back of a spoon or a spatula.
-
Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
-
Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheets. They will crisp up as they cool.
-
Once cool, carefully peel the cookies off the foil.
-
In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water), melt the milk chocolate chips, stirring until smooth.
-
Dip the flat side of half the cookies into the melted chocolate, covering the surface evenly.
-
Place the chocolate-coated cookies flat-side down onto the remaining plain cookies to form sandwiches.
-
Allow the chocolate to set completely before serving or storing.
