Maybe you have noticed a trend. I seem to be hooked on cookie bars. I can’t seem to help myself. They are so easy and tasty. I am finding myself wondering what other cookies can be converted to bars. So the trend will probably continue for a few more weeks. Or longer.
My kids really like peanut butter cookies with Hershey kisses in the center. There is something almost magical in the way those kisses soften with the heat of the cookie and then remain soft after the cookie cools. I don’t particularly like unwrapping all of those kisses, though. And then I have to keep younger hands from swiping them while the cookies are baking. Inevitably, a few will be palmed by a passerby and a few cookies will end up being plain peanut butter.
