    A cross between a cookie and a granola bar, these easy-to-make, easy-to-serve bar cookies are sweet, crunchy, chewy and delicious. 

    Pillsbury challenged me to dress up their refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough for the holidays. Their cookie dough makes a great base for a bar cookie, and with a few easy add-ins you have a bar cookie that would be a perfect addition to any cookie gift boxes you’re making for the holidays.

    Tip: The easiest way to line a pan with foil is to turn the pan upside down and fold the tin foil around the pan. Remove the foil, turn the pan right side up and the liner fits perfectly. Be sure and cut the foil longer than the length of the pan so you have handles to lift the cookies out of the pan.  Then just peel the foil off and your bar cookies will be super easy to cut.

    My grandson was visiting the day I made these cookies. He loves helping grandma in the kitchen. He helped measure the add-ins, and liked pressing the dough in to the pan.

    I mixed the cookie dough in my stand mixer, but you could easily just mix it up with a wooden spoon. I used a vanilla almond granola in these bar cookies, but use whatever granola you like.

      Also, you need to try Reynolds Pan Lining paper. You would love it. Foil on one side and parchment on the other. I will give some to you the next time I see you.
