Love, love, love cookie bars! They are better than cookies because you don't have to worry about making each portion the same size. When I make cookies, I always end up with some small and some big which don't bake evenly. Cookie bars also have a great chewy texture. I love the way MM's add color to the bars. These make a great back to school treat for after school.
