-bake drop cookies recipes

I recently came across another way to use up some of those cartons of oats and bags of bran spilling out of my pantry. Brandi of Bran Appetit posted an intriguing recipe for Brandi's Cookie Bars. I used her recipe with a few changes to make cookie bars of my own. Please visit Brandi's blog for the original recipe. And if you're a fan of oatmeal cookies and chocolate, make these now!

With the help of a cake mix, these bars go together in a flash.

A not-too-tart lemon topping over a sweet crust.

I made these bars with blackberry preserves instead. I made a simple glaze and drizzled it over the bars once they cooled completely.

A wholesome snack for children...

I was looking for a recipe that transported well.The kids love these easy to make bars. They are great to take to the park,on a picnic or on a hike.I wrap them individually in plastic wrap and they are just great!

These bars made of vanilla wafers, chocolate chips, coconut and pecans are a great snack for dessert or when on the move.

Super yummy chewy chocolatey bars.

One of my favourite bars! Easy to make, and they taste amazing!
