Rolling out the Cookie Bars





We did go to Nate’s on Monday evening arriving in Santa Barbara at about 7pm. We’d gone by Nate’s house to pick up the key to the kitchen, bags of sugar and some other items.
Once we were at the kitchen we got busy, Dale helping where ever and me mixing up a batch of bars. They baked for 40 minutes but I think that the heat was too low so they didn’t bake well. I did put the dough into 2 smaller pans but put one in a little longer than the other.
I mixed a batch of crunchy cookies both plain and chocolate chip then did what I said I’d do, put 15 cookies onto a tray, and then lined them up in a row. They measured 15” long and each cookie should be cut ¾ of an inch long. I wrapped each log in a plastic film wrap and labeled it then put them into the freezer.
Nate did take one log out and bake it. The cookies seemed to come out fine. I’d forgotten to flatten them a little so they came out high but he reported that they tasted good.
As we were leaving on Tuesday morning one of the kitchen owners came in to bake for her sister-in-law’s café. She tasted our bars and decided that her sister-in-law should carry them in her café. We will see if this happens.
