Cookie Recipe #1

Hello there!

I realized that this week marked the two year anniversary of this blog! Can you believe it? So my present to you is a collection of SIX amazing cookie recipes. These are all of the Christmas cookies that we have baked as of yesterday. (More will be coming, no doubt.) So let’s begin.

Magic Bars

A distinctive cookie, a bakery staple. Chewy to crunchy ratio about 2:1. Undercooking these isn’t a bad idea at all, especially since there are no eggs in the recipe. Very messy treat. Have a napkin on hand or just pop the whole thing in your mouth, because crumbs are inevitable.

Ingredients:

½ cup margarine or butter

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1 (14 oz.) can of sweetened condensed milk

6 oz. of semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 1/3 cups of flaked coconut

1 cup finely chopped nuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees (325 for glass dish). In 13x9” baking pan, melt butter in oven (remember to coat the sides of the pan as well). Sprinkle crumbs over butter; pour sweetened condensed milk over crumbs. Top with remaining ingredients, press down. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Cut into bars.
