Till, I don't have the time or the patience to bake cookies.
So instead, I use the cookie recipe and glob all the dough into a jelly roll pan at once and make bars. My guys don't seem to mind at all. In all the years I've been doing this, I've never had to throw out any stale ones.
When I made cookie dough, that's the way I'd do it and called them cookie squares. THEN I found these premade, precut cookies.
