My dad baked these cookies recently, and they were yummy! I will definitely have to bake them myself sometime :)

I have made this recipe hundreds of times. I make it in an oblong 2 quart Pyrex. It measures about 8x11. The bars come out a bit thinner but my family didn't like them as thick in the 8x8. Great recipe!
