Shortbread Magic Cookie Bars

Oh my goodness the many names this cookie bar has started with magic cookie bars.


They're also known as 7 layer cookies, chocolate coconut cookie bars, and hello dolly bars.


The usual crust from the 1960s is made with graham crackers, I changed it up a bit making a shortbread buttery crust instead.


Everyone raved about how the crust melts in your mouth with that delicious crunch then smothered with creamy condensed milk almost mounds bar topping.


My family isn't big on adding nuts however you can add them and honestly if you do, toast them first they make a huge difference.


Cookie bars are so much easier to make than mixing cookie dough and making individual ones, these are all in one pan, cooled cut and viola done in 25 minutes.


If you love coconut great but these are so versatile you can add many other additions and omit whatever you're not fond of right?


We love easy recipes like this one, you may remember these simple delights Dark Chocolate Cake Mix Cake Banana Cake Mix Cake or my 4 Ingredient Pumpkin Spice Cake.

Magic White Chocolate Christmas Bars

A flakey pie crust topped with layers of white chocolate chips, coconut, dried fruits, pistachio nuts, and then finished off with a blanket of sweetened condensed milk a versatile holiday treat that surely will not last long!

The original 7-layer magic cookie bars usually have semi-sweet chocolate chips, maybe a peanut butter or butterscotch chip with coconut nuts, and topped with a can of sweetened condensed milk but these are a Holiday version and so pretty in red and green.

You can use and colorful dried fruit and nuts you prefer but we love cherries or cranberries for this festive holiday cookie bar and it sure is a nice addition to any cookie tray!
