I really liked how these taste. I have made them twice already, and will likely make them again. I haven't been able to get these to stay together well enough to cut them into a nice shaped bar. Luckily, I was only making them for my family and we don't care what it looks like or what layers were missing. SO GOOD, just wish it stuck together better.

These bar cookies were very easy to make and very rich and delicious. A couple of things: 1) the bar layers didn't really stay together (shortbread and coconut mixture didn't stick) when I removed them from the pan..I'm not sure if it was the shortbread cookies I used? 2) I'd recommend using more like 2/3 of the chocolate chips for the bottom of the cake pan and drizzling the remaining 1/3 melted chocolate on top. 3) Adding a little bit of milk to the melted chocolate makes it easier to spread and drizzle. Otherwise, these were delicious and a great way to simplify Recipe #37459

I am a SAHM of 3 - I really love to cook, but find it challenging between 4-6 in the evening, so I am constantly on the lookout for quick and yummy dishes.
My favorite cookbooks are from my local junior league, they are Colorado Cache and Creme de Colorado. I also love the Fanny Farmer cookbook for basic stuff.
