Notes
- To keep your cookie bars soft, store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
- For a warm, gooey treat, microwave a cookie bar for about 10-15 seconds.
- Serve these colorful bars at your next Halloween party or bake sale for a festive touch.
- Don't overmix the dough after adding the flour; gently combine to ensure a soft and chewy texture.
