Instructions

Line a cookie sheet with slightly raised sides (or a swiss roll pan) with parchment
Preheat your oven to 325°
Make sure the butter is at room temperature before you start.
Cream the butter and both the sugars in a mixer.
Add in the milk, eggs and vanilla.
Grind the oats in a food processor till they are a fine texture.
Add the cornstarch, flour, oats, salt, baking powder and soda to the creamed mixture and mix well.
Stir in the chocolate chips, nuts and coconut.
Spread the mixture evenly in the lined cookie sheet and sprinkle with the salt flakes (just a pinch or two)
Bake for 20-25 minutes (cooking time varies from oven to oven so it's best to check on the bars at 20 minutes)
As soon as the top is lightly brown and your tester comes out clean when inserted in the center remove the cookie bars from the oven
Once completely cool, cut into 24 even squares and enjoy!

Notes

ROOM TEMPERATURE - For best results, when baking, it's always best to have your ingredients at room temperature. I usually take my butter and eggs out of the fridge about an hour before I plan to start baking.

BAKING SHEET - You can use a standard 9x13 baking tin and spread the cookie mixture evenly in it but I prefer using my swiss roll pan or a cookie sheet with raised sides. Though the batter doesn't go all the way to the edge of the sheet, the heat circulates better as the sides aren't raised and the result is a better more evenly baked cookie.
