So which do you prefer?  Cookies or cookie bars?  It’s a tough call for me.  I love adore cookies, but I love how easy cookie bars are.  No need for multiple pans, chilling the dough, or setting that timer in between the batches.  It’s all about pouring them into one pan and then your done.

I don’t know about y’all, but I need stuff to be easy lately.  My calendar for next week alone is not looking like I’ll be productive at home.  It’s the week before school gets out for the Christmas break, and I’ll be running the roads trying to get everything accomplished before I have all the kids at home.  Plus we have about 4 things going on at school.  It was always my favorite week as a teacher.  There are class parties, pajama days, movies, and that wonderful feeling of Christmas in the air!

So with the schedule being hectic, I’m all about an easy dessert.  These are yummy and thick.  They are perfect with a glass of milk!  And if you’ve never tried cranberry and white chocolate together, you are totally missing out!  They are a perfect combination!

    DO you user baking soda or baking powder? The ingredients list baking powder and the instructions say baking soda.
