EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

The flavors in this bar were inspired by linzertorte, a classic European dessert that originated in Linz, Austria.

Make these fabulous bars ahead of time. Line your pan with foil, leaving the edge of the foil above the rim of the pan on two opposite sides; grease foil in bottom of pan lightly. Bake bars as directed. When cool, use foil "handles" to remove the whole rectangle from the pan. Wrap airtight and freeze. Before serving, unwrap and let stand about 1 hour until room temperature.

Bars can also be baked in a 17x11x3/4-inch pan.

To cupcakewiz: A cookie exchange is when you get together w/3-5 friends, all of whom have picked a different cookie recipe and have baked 2 dozen (or 1 doz) times 3 (or 4 or 5) cookies to exchange amongst each other. The object is to go home with an assortment of cookies for the holidays. Sometimes a tea or light luncheon is served, sometimes only the prepared dough goes to the hostess' home and you spend time baking the cookies as well. Making a bar cookie will certainly cut down on the time spent baking!
