ISO squares that travel well and please a crowd
 

Have to take a platter of squares and cookies to a reunion. Any suggestions for anything that goes over well when you take it. Thanks.

My family loves the lemon bars. You can make them from a mix or from scratch.

I vote for brownies. Make them a day ahead so they will dry out a bit and be indestructable.

Our family likes Scotcharoo bars & Snickerdoodle Cookies. Both travel very well.

I have a recipe for bars that are called: Baptist Chews , it is really nice.

Rice Krispie bars.
The "original" ones. NO peanut butter, no chocolate. Just Rice Krispies, butter, and marshmallows.

Unfrosted brownies - maybe a powdered sugar dusting on them.

Oatmeal raisin cookies.

Make the cookies small and cut the bars small. People can always go back for seconds, but sometimes one just wants a bite or two of a sweet.

The unbaked cookies go well, and are quick and easy. Our kids loved them and grew up on them!

I have taken my favorite drop cookie, like choc. chip and pressed the dough into a 9x13 pan or larger(depending on the size recipe) and baked them as a bar cookie. They seem to travel better than a reg. cookie with much less breakage

When I make cookies, I am just to busy (read - lazy) to do all the individual cookies so I adapt all recipes to be bar cookies. The most popular cookie I make is a soft peanut butter bar, or the chocolate chip bars. Now my secret- I buy 2 mixes that come in envelopes, and follow the recipe except I add an extra egg to the mix. Press the dough into a jelly roll pan, and bake at 25 degrees cooler than directed, and bake for about 20 minutes. Allow to cool 10 minutes before cutting and removing from the pan. Yum!
