These were a good cookie bar. I was tired of regular oatmeal scotchie cookies, and wanted to try something a tad different. I actually had all the ingredients which rarely ever happens. I cut the recipe down and only made a 1/2 batch for just my husband, toddler son and I (if my 6 week old had teeth, I'm sure she would have liked to try them!) and they came out perfectly. I must note that they did not keep well, after 1 day they were sort of stale, even though I was storing them cut up, in an airtight tupperware container. However, I continued to eat them anyway, beggars can't be choosers when you want something sweet. Thanks for posting the recipe, I would definitely make this one again.
