Chewy, delicious cookie bar recipes are perfect for any occasion, including potlucks and holidays – they’re perfect for sharing!
What’s Not to Love?
We LOVE to make cookie bars, especially when we need to feed a lot of people. They taste just like cookies but are easier and quicker to make.
Cookie bar recipes still have that chewy, soft center, and crisp crust making these a must-make dessert . With different flavors and toppings, we love to change up classic bars for all the holidays too (adding colored buttercream frosting or sprinkles is a great way to do this).
Whether your cookie of choice is chewy Chocolate Chip , Sugar Cookies , Oatmeal Cookies , or Snickerdoodles , we have bar forms of all of these that we know you will love. Just add a scoop of vanilla ice cream !
