| The secret to cutting perfect bars is to line the pan with foil so you can lift out the baked bars. Grease the foil as directed in the recipe. |
|
| Cut bars into triangles for a new shape on your holiday cookie tray. Or use small deep cookie cutters in heart, star and bell shapes to give a festive touch. Spray cookie cutters with cooking spray for easier cutting. |
