Growing up, I babysat two little boys almost every weekend and their mom introduced me to cheesecake cookie bars. I took this recipe that reminded me of childhood and recreated making the cookie dough from scratch with einkorn flour. It tastes just as delicious as I remember.
You won’t be able to stop at just one.
