How to Make Patriotic Cookie Bars

First to make the cookie bars you’ll need to preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Next, line a square baking pan with foil and spray the foil with cooking spray.

Second, add butter, brown sugar, vanilla, and egg to a mixing bowl and stir well.

Next, crush the cookies and reserve 1/3 cup and add the remaining cookies to the batter.

Then stir in the flour until almost combined. Reserve 1/3 of the candy corn and add the remaining to the batter. Make sure to stir all the ingredients together.

Third, press the prepared dough into the pan with your fingers or use the back of a spoon. Make sure to spread the batter evenly.

Fourth, sprinkle the reserved crushed cookies and the candy corn on top of the cookie bar mixture.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the center sets. Let the cookie bar cool entirely before removing from the pan. Once cooled peel away the foil and cut cookies into bars.

Don’t the cookie bars look fun and festive? Your friends and family will be begging for this recipe.

How to Store the Cookie Bars

To store the cookie bars place them in an airtight container. Seperate the bars by placing wax paper between them.
