Cookie bar
A cookie bar is a type of cookie that is made in the form of a bar. These bars are typically made from a dough that is rolled out and then cut into bars. The dough is usually made with flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and baking powder. Some recipes may also include chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit.
The origin of the cookie bar is unknown, but it is believed that they were first created in the United States. The first recipes for cookie bars appeared in the early 1900s. These recipes were likely created as a way to use up leftover cookie dough.
Cookie bars became popular in the 1970s, when recipes for them began appearing in magazines and cookbooks. Today, they are a common sight at bake sales and potlucks.
