Congo Bars - A New Favorite.

 

I admit it.

 

I'm a sucker for a really good chocolate chip cookie.

 

So, when I saw this photo from

www.sixsistersstuff.com

I couldn't resist the urge to

make some for myself.

 

Here's the recipe which is very easy to make.

I added all the ingredients into a bowl and mixed.

Then, I added the chocolate chips and nuts.
