Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie by Salad Foodie

How about a foot-wide chocolate chip cookie for a party or gift? This treat is quick and easily portable. Chocolate chip cookie recipes abound, but I like this one especially.

However, they are more cake-like than bar-like, and the extra steps,…

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Bars by Salad Foodie

An oatmeal streusel mixture serves as both crust and topping in this delightfully chewy cookie bar. The secret ingredient in the filling is purchased caramel topping. These bars are very sweet so cutting them in smaller portion sizes is appropriate. It just extends the sublime enjoyment of the treats - unless you just keep snitching…
