Cookie Bars

Quantities are approximations. Organic ingredients preferred.

  • 1/2 cup each brown & white sugar
  • 1 stick butter softened 
  • 2 eggs
  • Vanilla
  • 3/4-1 cup flour
  • Salt
  • 1 tap baking powder 
  • 2 cups oats
  • 3/4 chocolate chips
  • 1/2- 3/4 raisins soaked in boiling water, then drain
  • chopped Walnuts
  • chopped Pecans

Cream together the sugar and butter. Add eggs and vanilla, and cream well. Add the flour, salt and baking powder, mix well. Add remaining ingredients and mix.

Press into cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. If you wet your hands with water the dough doesn’t stick as much. Bake 400 for 10-12 minutes. Score when warm by pressing with a large sharp knife. 

Enjoy!
