Notes

Tips on making Dump Cookie Bars:
  • Want a thinner bar with fewer calories, spread the batter in a 13x9-inch baking dish and reduce the amount of time in the oven to 30-35 minutes. This will give you 16 bars.
  • The idea for these easy cookie bars is to DUMP-IN whatever you already have in your baking cabinet. I used white chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips and some English Toffee bits. I wanted to use up these leftover baking staples in my pantry and this is such a tasty way to do it. Some other choices might include butterscotch chips, chopped pecans and chopped Reese's Peanut Butter cups. Use what you already have on hand.
