I was looking for a quick "dessert" for my soup lunch, and this little recipe was hanging on a clip strip in the baking isle at my grocer. It is so simple to make and fairly inexpensive. I made them on Monday evening, wrapped them up tight after they cooled. Tuesday I cut them and put them in snack size baggies and served them Wednesday with my soup and they were the softest bar cookies I've ever made, but they still held there shape. Everyone that tried them enjoyed them and several people asked for the recipe. This recipe is from Nestle. Please see the end of the recipe for variations that were on the recipe card.
