Cookie Bars

 I signed up to make cookies for a local Coffee House Saturday night so decided to modify a cookie recipe I had and make bars instead.

The original recipe is also a modification of a chocolate chip cookie I got from a coworker in the 1970s.  I wanted to add coconut.

Here's the new recipe:

Preheat oven 325º

Cream: 1 cup each vegetable oil, brown sugar, and white sugar.

Add two eggs one at a time, then 2 tsp. almond extract

In a separate bowl mix together 1 1/2 cup flour, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp baking powder.  Add these dry ingredients in two parts to the above mixing well.  [I use King Arthur flour.]

Add one cup oats and one cup coconut. [If you want to skip the coconut, use two cups oats for Oatmeal Almond cookies.]

Spread on greased wax paper on a cookie tray.

Bake 15- 20 minutes.

Let cool then cut into bars.  This made 3 dozen bars.

The container on the left went to the Coffee House and I kept the other.

Both disappeared quickly, they were that good.
