"LOVED these cookie Bars! I did add 1 egg. While I was mixing the sugar and butter it was just too thick and was not whipping up like I thought it should. 1 egg did the trick! They came out PERFECT..." See more! I also pressed them in a 10x13 glass baking dish since I did not have a jelly roll pan. "

I added an egg, 1 tablespoon of milk, an extra bit of vanil..." See morela, and 1/4 cup of white sugar. Also, be SURE to sift the flour. I also used a mixture of peanut butter & chocolate chips for added flavour! The second time they turned out AMAZING!"
