Sorry but these were not very good. My Granddaughter didn't like them and she likes everything. Not sure why but they tasted terrible.

This are good, but like they look in the picture, they are rather dry crumbly.

Is something missing? There doesn't seem to be enough liquid? It is so thick that it couldn't be poured.

I think since these are supposed to be bar cookies, the batter will be more like a dough.

I think instead of printing "pour" they meant press. I'm not sure because I haven't made this recipe yet but have made Bars in the past.
