The Best Bar Cookies
At our family gatherings, there are lots of kids. Kids love cookies. They don’t really care what shape the cookies are, they just like eating them as a snack, appetizer, and dessert. We love bar cookies because they are so quick to make.
Bar cookies are quicker because you don’t have to make balls out of the dough and there’s less cleanup – we only use one 15” jelly roll pan.
The best cookies have just the right combination of ingredients. Everyone that tried these at our family party liked them! A few people even said that the peanut butter chips were a nice surprise. I think people expected traditional chocolate chip cookies. I like an easy recipe with common ingredients that gives people a nice surprise!
My husband’s family has a Cowboy Bar Cookie Recipe that is amazing. When we made the Chocolate & Peanut Butter Bar Cookies in the same pan, my mother-in-law was convinced we must’ve added peanut butter chips to her classic recipe. It’s a totally different recipe, so let’s see if she ever reads this and finds out! These recipes are the best two bar cookies I’ve eaten!
We LOVE all of these cookies when they are warm out of the oven and a little bit gooey!
What Kinds of Wheat Are There?
We are farmers and we grow cows, pigs, corn, soybeans, hay and wheat. We just had a good discussion with our ten-year-old son the other day about different varieties of wheat. I actually read most of this web page about wheat to him as we were on a family road trip the other day. From what I’ve gathered the wheat we grow here in Ohio goes into Oreos and other cookies. But we probably used wheat from another state in our all-purpose flour for this recipe. Either way, I like knowing that I support family farms in the United States.
We hope you use lots of flour and wheat products great recipes like this!
