Easy Magic Cookie Bars {Gluten-Free}

December 1, 2016 by JD Leave a Comment

Happy first day of December! The countdown to Christmas has begun! Well, for many of us, it began much sooner than that. Holiday baking started early in our house this year, especially since we started #CookieSwappinGood, our Virtual Cookie Swap Holiday Party! We’re coming up on Week 7 already (that’s tomorrow), and we’re adding our Easy Magic Cookie Bars to our growing list of #CookieSwappinGood recipes!

Easy Magic Cookie Bar Recipe Kids Can Make

Our friend gave us the recipe for these delicious “magic bars” or “magic cookies” or “magic cookie bars”… whichever way you want to call ’em! No mixing required! We can’t decide if crushing the graham crackers or slicing the cookies or waiting for them to cool down is the most painful part of the process. You be the judge 😉 Our kids seem to agree on the latter. Go figure!

We cut it down the middle, in half, to make slicing a whole lot easier (we used a pizza cutter, if that helps).
