MY VERY FAVORITE BAR COOKIE

-
These are rich cookies.

Even a professional cookie eater like me can only eat one but oh the enjoyment of eating just that one.

Heidi made them for our Mother's Day picnic.

They are called the Ultimate Bar Cookie and they are the ultimate.

We don't cut them in bars.

We like to take a round biscuit cutter and cut them out in circles.

I don't know why we do that, I guess we just like the way it looks.

Granted they sometimes want to fall apart but oh are they good.

You can save all the little crumbs and extra pieces  you have left after cutting them out and sprinkle them on ice cream for a topping or you can save them for when you have had a hard day and need some coffee and something sweet.

Give them a try, this doesn't make a lot but since they are soooo rich you don't need a lot.

2 cups all- purpose flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup real butter, softened
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
One 3 1/2 -ounce jar macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped (1 cup)
1-6 ounce package white baking bars, coarsely chopped.
1 cup milk chocolate chips
3/4 cup butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar

In a bowl beat flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 cup butter with a mixer on medium speed until it forms fine crumbs.
Press crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of an ungreased 13x9  inch baking pan.

Bake crust in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
Remove crust from oven and  place on a cooling rack.
Sprinkle nuts white and chocolate chips evenly over the hot crust.

Heat and stir the 3/4 cup butter and the 1/2 cup brown sugar over medium heat until bubbly.
When it bubbles keep stirring and cooking for one more minute.
Pour evenly over the layers in the pan.

Bake in the 350 degree oven for 15 minutes more or until just bubbly around the edges.
Cook in pan and cut into desired shapes.

Raisin Pie....AN OLD FASHIONED FAVORITE

-
Image
Some of you requested the Raisin Pie recipe so here it is. I had never had a raisin pie until I married into the Gray family. Mark loved them and when I was given a bridal shower before we married, everyone was asked to bring a recipe. Marilyn Losson brought this one. I have to admit as a young wife I let it sit in the recipe box for a little while but once I took it out, it just kept coming back out. Mark's grandpa Gray loved a raisin pie and so we took this over to his house often and of course we took a half gallon vanilla ice cream along with us. When Lucas came in the other day and saw this on the counter he said the first thing he thought of was Grandpa Herman. The girls aren't crazy about this pie but Lucas likes it and he likes it with ice cream too, so I'm thinking it's a Gray man thing. Okay, so here we go, the recipe is..... 2 cups seedless raisins 2 cups water 1/2 cup brown sugar 2 Tbsp cornstarch 1 tsp. cinnamon 1/8 tsp. salt 1 Tbs...
