My mom always loved to bake. She would cook and cook and cook. I never really knew what she was doing, just that it smelled good, and I couldn’t wait to eat it.
She would always give me chocolate chip cookies. Still, my favorite was the German Chocolate Cookie Bars she made for Thanksgiving.
I don’t know how she made them, but they were a total mystery to me. All I know is that they tasted amazing!
You won’t believe how easy these German Chocolate Cookie Bars are to make.
This is one of the most popular desserts during the holiday season, and it’s a tradition for many families to make them together as a bonding experience.
But there’s no need to wait until Christmas or Thanksgiving. You can make these bars any time of year!
