Pumpkin Pie Cookie Bars

It’s Pumpkin baking season, and this is a delicious recipe, which is definitely worth repeating!

This recipe may sound a little weird a first, but I promise it’s amazing! 

My housemates loved this recipe and helped bake it with me. 

If you don’t want to make the whole recipe, it can be cut in half and baked in a 8 x 8 baking pan – I tried this and it still turns out perfect!

      Add this mixture evenly on top of the cookie layer.

      Try not to get too much on the edges of the pan because these will burn.

      Bake for approximately 40 minutes.

      Let cool, then cut into squares.
