I have never been a patient cookie baker, so when the kids are asking for cookies I am tempted to take the easier way out with cookie bars. Make the batter, put it all in a pan and wait one time for the oven to beep and you are done! Anyone else with me?
Recently I found the following cookie bar recipe and it is now our go to recipe! This thick battered recipe truly does turn up the Best Cookie Bars!
The recipe is easy enough you can get the kids involved in the kitchen, even if a stool is needed.
Cracking eggs, mixing the batter, dropping in the chocolate chips and more.
The bars are great for throwing in the school lunch box, taking along for a quick snack at sporting events, car trips and more.
May you find this to be one of your favorite go-to recipes as well!
