Ingredients
Instructions

- Add nuts on top if desired.
- Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes. Do not overbake.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter instead of oleo, or a combination of both. If you're looking for a gluten-free option, substitute the flour with a gluten-free all-purpose blend. To enhance texture, lightly toast the nuts before adding them. Ensure not to overmix the batter to maintain a soft, chewy consistency similar to Crispy, Chewy Cookies.

These bars are perfect for sharing at gatherings or as a sweet treat with coffee. Serve them alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or drizzled with warm chocolate sauce for an indulgent dessert. They also pair well with Mary Mccrank'S Fruit Salad Dressing for a fresh contrast.
