Summary:
With so many basic packaged cookies on the market, and the standard chocolate chip cookies and brownies most people bake, I think it is rather nice to occasionally try a different cookie recipe from long-ago. Most kids today have never tasted cookies from the pasts of grandmothers and great-grandmothers, so it becomes a special taste treat for them. At least my teenage grandson thinks so and he can hardly wait to try out my latest baking effort. So far he has given each of my 'vintage' cookie recipes Five Stars!
So, for a cookie recipe that is 'old' and different, give these Dream Bars cookies a try!
