Jan. 16th, 2021 11:22 pmTonight I made sugar cookie bars for the neighbors who usually snow-blow our driveway and sidewalk for us! I missed the previous snow, and we had a bit of one yesterday/Thursday, both of which they helped out with, so it was time. I did have to go to the store to get more sugar, but the treats are still cheaper than a snow blower.
I made two batches total: One I added 1/2 cup white chocolate chips and 1/2 cup craisins, and to the other I swapped out 1/2 cup of flour for cocoa powder and added 1 cup of Andes Mint peppermint bark chunk things. I think it was a bit too much cocoa powder, because the chocolate mint bars turned out super rich; I'd probably back it off to 1/3 cup or 1/4 cup if I try that variation again.
Anyway, neighbors are getting 18 bars of each type, and my parents and I got the remaining six of each, so two per flavor per person! A good baking endeavor all around, IMO; I'll have to make them again.
Edit: And it's snowing again, so I guess this is extra convenient timing!
