My family thought these bars were excellent. Next time I will add the chopped nuts. I like that there is whole wheat flour in there. Really yummy!

This is my favorite cookie recipe, and it's so easy! My husband begs me to make these for him all the time, and I try keep a few on hand in the freezer. Baking in a 12x9 pan makes very deep bars, so I bake the bars in a glass 14x10 (the next size up) for 20 minutes.
