Tips for Extra-Good Cookie Bars

• Don’t over-bake! The bars will continue to set as they cool, so pull them when the edges are lightly golden.
• Add-ins welcome: Try white chocolate, M&M’s, chopped nuts, or sprinkles.
• Serve warm: A scoop of vanilla ice cream turns this into a next-level dessert.
