the easiest recipe ever...

i don't really cook and to be honest, when i'm asked to bring a dish to a party, i get kinda stressed out...(remind me to tell you all about the time I made inedible gazpacho for a book club meeting - people couldn't even politely choke it down.).
this recipe for magic cookie bars has gotten me through the holidays year after year. it's very hard to mess up (although i've done it before!) and they are always a huge hit! xo, k

  1. Ha-ha, I am also known to mess up a recipe I've made dozens of times. I'm putting this one in my bag of recipe tricks. Always on the hunt for a foolproof recipe.

    side note: if you get a room down here for nye, you should stay at the lafayette in north park... there's a really fun show that night and a rad dive bar next store... so fun!
