As kids, my friends and I sandwiched Almond Joys between cookies. For our high school reunion, I re-created the idea with a tasty baked version that breaks apart like chocolate bark.—Faith Cromwell, San Francisco, California

    These are delicious! A crisp, buttery cookie bark that is satisfying and addictive. I did bump up the chocolate chips to 2 cups and spread the extra on the baked cookie to give a bit more chocolate glaze. Making two pans and giving them as Christmas gifts to the coworkers in pretty little bags. Thanks for a unique and now favorite recipe.
