Tis the season for cookies, and for me that often means bar cookies!  Bar cookies are the quickest when you’re baking for a group, and don’t have a lot of time.  No scooping and shaping, or, in and out of the oven with several baking sheets.  Just plop them in a pan and bake.  Now admittedly, some of these recipes are a liiiiittle more detailed than “plopping,” but those details result in fabulousness!  A couple of these cookie bar recipes are from my blog, but the rest are from our (Saving4Six and Joyful Homemaking’s) wonderful contributors to our “Think Tank Thursday” link up party.

This list has a bit of all the favorite ingredients to use in baking:  chocolate, peanut butter, fruit, pumpkin, caramel, sugar cookies and more!  🙂   So let’s get started!
