I usually whip up cookies in no time, with no problems.

These? No.

They were too flat, they were too crispy, the bottoms were burnt before the centers were done, they had too many calories, etc.

Okay, so I fixed all of the problems, except for that last one. Calories are delicious, so I decided to just leave that alone.

This recipe is from Taste of Home, but I changed it up a bit to turn these into bars. It only took me three test batches before I got the idea.

Don’t even ask what happened to the test batches. I’ll admit to nothing.

Now, y’all know that I do quite a lot of baking, so when I say that something is just plain fabulous and a new favorite, I hope you’ll know that I mean it. These are fabulous. They are a new favorite.

My husband took one bite and exclaimed, “These are amazing!”

I usually have to ask him for his opinions and then I always get “They’re good.” No exclamation points attached or anything.

So, yeah. These are amazing! Eat ’em.
