Bar cookies are one of my favourite treats to make because you stir them together, bake and 16 bars are ready to go. Regular cookies are yummy but they take a long time to get done making batch after batch. Instead, make these Creamy Pecan Chocolate Chip Bars. They’re perfect for your Christmas cookie tray or any time you want a delicious treat.
Make a few batches of these, a double batch of Homemade Nuts and Bolts and some No Bake Peanut Butter Cornflake Cookies and you could be done with your homemade gifts for Christmas!
