Cookie and Bar Recipes

Cookies and bars were the very first recipes I baked when I started out in the kitchen. They're simple, approachable, and quick to make.

Here you'll find classics like chocolate wafer cookies (especially great now that Nabisco Famous Wafers are discontinued) and triple ginger molasses cookies.

There are also fun twists like biscoff blondies and black sesame cookies.

When the urge to bake -and eat- strikes, cookies, brownies and other bar cookies are often my dessert of choice.
