directions
- Butter a 9x13 cake pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, add all cookie base ingredients except melted butter. Blend well. Add butter and stir. Blend until you have pea sized balls of dough. Press 1/2 of the mix into the prepared pan, cover the bottom of the pan as well as a little ways up the sides of the pan. Reserve the remaining cookie mix for later.
- In a medium sauce pot, add all the filling ingredients. Mix well and bring the filling to a low boil. Stir and heat until the filling thickens. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
- Spread the filling over the cookie base in the pan, covering the cookie base evenly. Crumble the reserved cookie base over the filling evenly.
- Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes until the cookie base is lightly browned and the filling is bubbling up. Remove from oven and cool.
- In a small bowl, mix together the icing ingredients, adding just enough milk to make a good drizzling consistency. Drizzle the icing over the cookie base. Allow to cool completely. Cut into bars. Enjoy.
