Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bars

I have this thing for chocolate and oatmeal.  So when I purchased a new Amish cookbook I looked for their version.  They turned out really good.
Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bars
1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. white sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Beat together, then add:
1 egg
1 c. flour
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/2 c. quick oatmeal
1 tsp. baking soda
3/4 c. nuts chopped
Mix well.  Spread into a 9x13 pan.  Bake at 350 for 25 minutes just until the center is set.  Sprinkle on top:
1 c. chocolate chips
Leave in oven 5 min. until chips are shiny.  Take out and spread smoothly over the top.  Yield: 9x13 pan

Notes: I doubled this and used a jelly roll pan.   I used pecan meal for the nuts.  If you follow this recipe, the bottom picture is what you end up with....
