Lately, I have been all about cookie bars. Quicker than cookies and just as tasty.

Sometimes the cookie recipes need no altering to become a bar, and other times like in the case of our oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, it does.

This recipe makes 2 9 by 12 pans, but if you have a smaller family, you can easily freeze half the dough to cook up at a later date.

Here is our made-over cookie recipe that created chewy mouth-watering oatmeal chocolate chip cookie bars.
