I love cookies. I love them so much that when I was pregnant with my daughter, I wanted a cookie that had everything. Umm, more like I was feenin' for loads of sinful; milk chocolate, white chocolate, nuts, raisins, coconut, oats etc, all in one bite, a cookie. ... And lo and behold, I found a recipe, "A - Z Everything but the Kitchen Sink."
Nowadays my daughter, hints for a batch of fresh cookies, "We need flour, sugar, butter, eggs ... " The picture to the left is our last batch, sugar cookies.
So this morning when I saw this, the Cookie Bar idea, I was thinking perfect idea for a wedding, baby shower and now even a Mother's Day brunch.

I’m Here for the Cookies" in December – stating that Cookie Bars became popular during the depression, when expensive, elaborate cakes were not affordable.
