SWEET AND FESTIVE CHRISTMAS COOKIE BARS
Growing up, we always had a big stack of those Christmas cookie tins. For the majority of the year, they remained hidden in the cupboards. But once the leftovers from Thanksgiving were packed away (either in the refrigerator, or our stomachs), out came the cookie tins! I always liked those tins for two reasons. You could load a ton of goodies into each one. And, there were so loud that you could hear them being opened. That sound of clanging tin turned me into one of Pavlov’s dogs. Scampering into the room to claim my next Christmas cookie. Check out these epic holiday cookie bar recipes! Eat some, share some, freeze some, but hopefully, love them all!
My preferred holiday treat is this recipe for eggnog cheesecake bars. The ideal cheesecake is rich and creamy with a gingersnap crust that is slightly sweet and slightly peppery.
The Chewy Noels recipe is a traditional Christmas treat. They are a buttery, chewy, powdered sugar-topped walnut bar that is ideal for your cookie tray.
Use up any extra cranberry sauce with these festively scrumptious cranberry cheesecake streusel bars! They are quick, simple, and gluten-free! Perfect for the holiday season, using leftovers from Thanksgiving cranberry sauce, or just using up your frozen cranberry supply!
Fudgy brownies are cooked from scratch, topped with a layer of creamy mint, and covered in rich chocolate in this cookie bar version of a holiday classic.
The epic dessert bar: Brown Butter Blondies, is sweet and chewy. Consider these to be vanilla brownies.

No craving is too strong for these brownies with brown butter!
A layer of chewy snickerdoodle cookies, a creamy cheesecake center, and a cinnamon-sugar topping make up this tasty recipe for snickerdoodle cheesecake bars.
