I've never heard of a Muskoka bar before, but I'll never forget it either.
I was browsing the blogosphere when I came across this recipe. Thank you Janet of Janet is Hungry.
Four ingredients and 15 minutes to just out of the oven, fresh, hot cookie bars. Kellicole said it was her new favorite cookie. Its crisp and crumbly and falls apart in your mouth. And just the right amount of chocolate. This makes a large pan full so its great for a large group.
Pull up a chair, and I'll pour you a cup of coffee. One cookie or two?
Muskoka Cookies
from the May 2003 issue of Today's Parent Magazine
4 cups quick oats
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup butter
1 cup chocolate chips
1. In a large microwave safe bowl (or a saucepan) melt the butter.
2. Stir in the brown sugar until melted.
3. Stir in the oats until coated, and then stir in the chocolate chips.
4. Press the mixture down into a greased 11"x16" cookie sheet with a 1/2" lip. Press until well packed and even.
5. Bake at 375°F for about 10-12 minutes until edges start to brown and mixture is bubbly. Let cool and cut into squares.

I have these cookies bookmarked from Janet's site, but haven't had a chance to make them yet. Yours look great!
ReplyDeleteHi Megan these look great we call them flapjacks over here in the UK. :)
ReplyDeleteLove how simple the recipe is, and how can you go wrong with those ingredients?
ReplyDeletethis sounds so easy and good. I would love to have a slice with my coffee!
ReplyDeleteMichele-They do!
ReplyDeleteCarla-You should.
toothfairy-Try them. you'll be glad you did.
Deborah-thank you, there great!
Jeena- I did not know that. Thanks for the info.
Cate-So simple and so good.
Mandy-give them a try. I wouldn't steer you wrong
Muskoka / Flapjack - you're right Megan, whatever they're called they're great. The ginger ones on my blog are worth a go, especially with the addition of honey. I then think of them as being medicinal, especially if one had a cold.
