Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt margarine in a pan.

- Spread condensed milk over the top and then sprinkle on nuts.
- Bake for 30 minutes at 350°F.

Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use unsalted margarine to control the saltiness of your cookies. If you prefer a richer flavor, consider substituting half of the margarine with butter. You can also replace graham cracker crumbs with crushed digestive biscuits or even oats for a different texture. Adjust the nut variety based on your preference, or omit them for a nut-free option.
Serving Suggestions
These cookies are delicious on their own or served alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert. They pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea. For a festive touch, consider serving them at gatherings or holidays, similar to Aunt Irene's Chocolate Chip Bars, as a sweet treat that everyone will love.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to two weeks or freeze for up to three months. To reheat, warm them in the oven at 300°F for about 10 minutes to restore their texture.
