Magic Cookie Bars

Christmas baking is in full swing here at our house, it’s one of my favorite things about the holidays. I love making cookies and taking sweet gifts to neighbors and friends. And of course we love to sneak a few treats too…I may have to make an extra trip or two to the gym for the 3 or 4 of these Magic Cookie Bars I’ve devoured the last few days.

These cookies aren’t anything new or fancy, this recipe has been around for ever…but they are my absolute favorite holiday cookie. This is the only time of the year that we make them and I try to package them up and deliver to friends before I eat all of them!

This year I used small wooden baskets and stamped them with a cheerful Christmas stamp. I added red and white polka dot washi tape around the rim. I placed a tiny bit of basket filler in the bottom of the basket and then added a layer of wax paper before filling the basket with magic cookie bars. Once the basked was full of treats I put the basket in a large cello bag and tied with with tulle and ribbon.

What’s your favorite holiday cookie or treat?
