Cookies!


My dear friend Sarah is holding a cookie exchange today and I thought I'd participate. It's a great way to get a lot of fun cookie recipes without coming home with 74 dozen cookies that will all end up in your thighs. So here's my recipe for Magic Cookie Bars. Super simple and super delicious!
Magic Cookie Bars:
1 can Eagle brand condensed milk
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 cup chopped nuts (I prefer walnuts)
1 cup (6 oz pkg) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/3 cup flaked coconut
Pour melted buter in a 13x9x2 in. pan. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs evenly over bottom of pan.
Sprinkle chopped nuts over crumbs.
Sprinkle chocolate chips over nuts.
Sprinkle coconut over chocolate chips.
Pour milk evenly over coconut.
Bake at 350 for approx. 25 minutes. Cool 15 minutes and cut into bars.
Makes 2 dozen 3" x 1 1/2" bars.
(I've also tasted this recipe with butterscotch chips and different kinds of nuts added. It's an easy recipe to play with.) Enjoy!

we make these (minus the nuts) and take them whenever we travel -- they are our travel bars! they are delicious when slightly warmed/melty due to being in a sun-warmed car :) yum.
