"My two young sons are crazy about these simple, fast-fixing cookie bars," says Carolyn Mulloy in Davison, Michigan. "And as a busy, on-the-go mom, easy preparation makes this one scrumptious dessert I can rely on—even at the last minute. You might want to vary the jam or jelly to suit your own family’s tastes." —

Wow what a great recipe. I used the whole jar of jelly on the top.

Made these bars for my grandsons and they just loved them. Important not to over cook the cookie dough, maybe even cut the baking time to 10 or 12 minutes so it is chewy when done.

I made these for the first time yesterday. I couldn't find buttercream frosting, so I used Duncan Hines creamy vanilla flavor.They looked beautiful and got a lot of attention, but the taste didn't knock your socks off. The bottom was a bit too crunchy. The frosting didn't have as much peanut-buttery flavor as I thought it would. The seedless raspberry jam was a nice touch.All in all, there are other bar cookies that are a lot more spectacular. Probably won't make these again.
