Butter Cookie Bars

"Did you get a bunch of tins of Danish butter cookies over the holidays and don't know what to do with them all? I sure did. So I adapted a Ritz cracker recipe (Abracadabra Bars from NabiscoWorld.com) using butter cookies instead of the crackers. The original recipe calls for walnuts. I'm allergic so I used sliced almonds. The number of actual cookies used may vary since they tend to come in various shapes and sizes. I used a mix of round and square cookies for the first layer and broke up the pretzel shaped ones for the top."

The pics are of my favorite band, Night Ranger. All pics of me were too large for the site...sorry! But since nranger7 is my name, it kinda fits to have a pic of them! I enjoy baking in my spare time. My coworkers love me because I regularly bring them cookies. I recently started dabbling in baking pies too. I've been told I should bake for a living, but I'm sure it wouldn't be as fun if I HAD to do it all the time! :)
