Coffee Bars With Coffee Glaze

This is a very simple to make bar cookie, goes great with a cup of coffee for breakfast or any other time of the day. My old neighbor, Aunt Lou, introduced me to this recipe about 40 years ago when I was a little girl. It's always been a favorite of mine because I've always LOVED coffee!!!
