    I wanted to make something for the teachers at J's school, but my mother-in-law's Kolatch seemed like too much work last night. That recipe is coming, I promise. Instead, I pulled out my Betty Crocker's New Christmas Cookbook that I have had for a few decades and hunted for some quick and easy bars. Bingo! A Holiday Cookie Mix that can be turned into at least five different kinds of cookies including Toffee Bars and Cherry Coconut Bars, the two I chose to make.

    The Holiday Cookie Mix can be made up to 10 weeks ahead and refrigerated until you are ready to bake. The recipe below makes 15-16 cups of mix and each recipe uses about 4 cups of mix to make a 13 x 9 pan of cookies. If you add ½ cup of butter to 4 cups mix and press it into a pan you can top it with just about anything.

    I didn't get too creative because I was trying to whip out two batches at once so I could take them in this morning so I just went with two recipes from the book.

    The first one I made was a simple Toffee Bar with melted chocolate and chopped nuts. The other was a Cherry Coconut custard which I will post tomorrow. It took me less than an hour for both batches, and I predict they won't even last that long once they get in to the Teachers' Lounge.

    Until next time, happy eating.

      Look yummy, esp toffee bars. Maybe I'll get brave enough to try them.

      Also, nice rings on chef's hand. 🙂
