Easy Way To Make Bar Cookies

ECBG — Sat, 19 Dec 2020 23:43:11 GMT

Years ago, I got SO tired of the corner piece exploding or looking less nice, I thought.....I'll line the 9 x 13 with aluminum foil, spray the sides and bottom well. After baking, I pulled the entire piece up and placed on a cutting board right next to the casserole! Works like a charm. Today, I used the wide heavy duty, and the sides are covered much better. I'll definitely remember this!!!!

I do the same thing with everything--especially brownies. But I like the non stick aluminum foil even better!

Today, I was short of the regular foil and realized I had some wide for the grill. Non stick would be a better choice, especially with that butterscotch pecan bar cookie in the 9 x 13 picture. It has TWO cups of pecans. Sinful with coffee!!!

Looks so delicious! Your edges and corners do look nice; I've used parchment paper and it doesn't work nearly as well as the foil.

We always end up with the grilling foil. Someone in the house buys it and seldom uses it (and I always use it as a last resort, too)!

Butterscotch Bars

Preheat oven to 325 degrees

Line a 9 x 13 inch casserole with aluminum foil which should go past the ends about 8 inches. The extra will be handles to lift the cooled block of cookies to cut.

Grease or spray pan and aluminum well.

4 Eggs

1 (16 oz) box light brown sugar

2 Cups Bisquick

2 Cups chopped pecans or walnut

1 6 oz pkg. butterscotch morsels

1 teaspoon vanilla

Beat eggs with hand mixture until frothy.

Gradually beat in sugar until thick.

Stir in vanilla, biscuit mix, chopped nuts, and butterscotch morsels.

Spread into greased 9 x 13 in. pan.

Bake at 325 for 45 minutes.

Cool and cut. Top will shatter. Yield two dozen.

@Mellyg

Thank you. I was really, low on foil, and happened to see the heavy duty pushed back on another shelf! I'v had "the handles" break off before, but it won't be with this!!!

I learned this trick from Martha Stewart -

I use parchment cut to size w/overlapover the sides - clip with binder clip -when I remove its in a "sling style" easy liftout of pan.

It works great! I use it for alot when making bar cookies or brownies.

(I buy sheets of parchment from local restaurant supply. I think they are full size pre-cut sheets - I cut them to size. You get 100 sheets for $8.95.)

@homedecor1

Thank you. Parchment won't fit into the corners. I had thought of that.

Aluminum is working well and molds to fit.

I'll be lining a pan next week to make cookie bars with M&M's. I saw a family member at an outside event (Santa rode through the neighborhood on a fire truck) and his kids love them. I only recently started using foil for lining pans and it works great.

@ECBG

Actually it does because you use 2 pieces cut to size of pan.

I overlap them as per picture. Works perfectly and I do spray pan w/Pam baking (or use crisco shortening). Perfect corners everytime and I bake my brownies in Wilton 8x8 square pan.

@homedecor1

Thank you. I see now. This is with a 9 x 9.

I'm using a 9 × 13.

@ECBG I just made chocolate chip cookies using bisquick. They are the best cookies that I have ever made. Bisquick has many ingredience in it.

@ECBG

Try it it will work even w/ 9 x 13" -- I make a lot of things in th is size pan -- Although "glass" won't have clean corners metal pans.

I've even done this technique using both 1/2 and full sheet pans.

Happy Baking🙂🙂🍪🍪

I use USA bakeware that is completely nonstick and very heavy and bar cookies, cakes and casseroles come out picture perfect! Well worth it to replace all y other 9x13 pans!!

Re: Easy Way To Make Bar Cookies

@ECBG chocolate chip cookies

1/2 cup butter softened

1 cup brown sugar packed

1 egg

1 T vanillia

2 3/4 cups Bisquick

1 cup chocolate chips

3/4 cup of nuts

Chill dough for 2 hours or overnight, dough will be hard.

Place cookies 2" apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for about 10 mins. I use the med size cookie scooper.

I use 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips and 1/2 cup semi sweet or dark chocolate chips.

Please let me know how they turn out, I have had so many compliments. They come out high and look store bought.

I do that with mine and of course my fudge. But only because I hate to clean the pan. Just pull it off and trash. Saves time for eating more of the sweet just made.
