Notes
The bars are done when they have a slightly dull surface and the edges of the crust should also begin to harden and slightly pull away from the surface of the baking dish. If the center is undercooked, return them to bake in the oven immediately and check them for doneness at 5-minute intervals.
Store the dough wrapped in plastic and refrigerate for 1-2 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw, if needed, press into the pan and bake.
Store cookie bars in an airtight container for 3-4 days or in a freezer Ziploc for 2-3 months.
