Yummy! My whole family gobbled these cookies up. I didn't have any chocolate chips but with the pecans on it, we didn't miss the chips at all. I'll definitely make this again but will bake them for less time. -
These are buttery, crispy and simply delicious, just as you mentioned... I can see why they are a family favorite!! I used 1 cup of brown sugar instead of 3/4 cup for my sugar-loving DH! I omitted the chocolate chips and nuts, but brushed the top with egg white as stated... I will use the nuts and the chocolate chips the next time around! This is a wonderful cookie bar recipe that makes a ton of cookies! thank you for sharing!...Kittencal:)
