I wanted to share a couple easy cookie/bar recipes that my family loves. Both take barely anytime to put together and the results are yummy. The first recipe is my version of a S'mores bar. I made these the first time for my annual cookie party last Christmas. My mommy friends inhaled them and I had several requests for the recipe. The second recipe is one I tried and tweaked a bit. I love lemon cookies and lemon bars but sometimes don't have the time or all the necessary ingredients on hand. This recipe is almost as easy as one of those packaged cookie mixes.
I hope you enjoy them as much as my family did. Happy baking!
