I cut it into 36 triangular bars--this is a very rich recipe so smaller portion sizes are fine, and it stretches it further. It's basically a chocolate shortbread crust with a fudge layer with chocolate chips and nuts on top. <br /><br />https://www.hersheys.com/kitchens/en_us/recipes/fudgey-chocolate-cookie-bars.htmlKrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-40045449013323617902019-12-09T12:04:45.265-08:002019-12-09T12:04:45.265-08:00Hi Kris,

I reused a long, cylindrical tin in which tea had come packed for holding cookies. I chose a recipe and made my cookies to fit this particular tin and I think it looked really nice when done.<br /><br />Can you share your chocolate cookie recipe? Bar cookies are so easy, so this sounds like a good one!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-79270803573455995702019-12-09T12:02:00.664-08:002019-12-09T12:02:00.664-08:00They're really tasty, Live and Learn.

I added a sheet of waxed paper between the layers when I brought my cookies to our church. <br /><br />That is an excellent idea to use the long, narrow boxes from kitchen wrap. You could also use spray paint to conceal the original designs and labels on the boxes' exteriors, like I've been doing with paper shopping bags to make gift bags. Thank you so much for this idea!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-79079981477646080792019-12-09T08:59:23.856-08:002019-12-09T08:59:23.856-08:00Shelby's idea is a good one!

If there's a way to clean out a Pringle's container, that would also be about the right size and shape--never tried it but I've thought about it. <br /><br />Lili, these look pretty and I'm sure they are tasty, knowing that they are a family favorite of yours. I agree, it does seem like people gravitate toward cookies with some form of chocolate in them. I have a bar cookie that I only make at this time of year. It's very choco-riffic (and looks harder to make than it really is!). It's the cookie most likely to bring oohs and ahhs from others.Krisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-8079436351620187282019-12-09T08:57:39.553-08:002019-12-09T08:57:39.553-08:00I love mint and chocolate together, so these look ...I love mint and chocolate together, so these look very good.

I was going to try making some to send to family and wasn't sure I would need to add a layer of wax paper between them. When shipping cookies, I use an empty box from either wax paper, cling wrap, or aluminum foil - I wrap the box first with pretty Christmas paper and layer the cookies in side ways, prevents them from getting crushed. Anyways...sorry for the rambling.<br />Have a great week!<br />ShelbyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
