Choco-Nut Sweet Treats

Agatha L. Roth Indianapolis, Indiana Bake-Off® Contest 37, 1996 $2,000 Prize Winner Using refrigerated cookie dough as a crust was an idea that appealed to a number of contestants at the 1996 contest. With a creamy coconut pecan filling and chocolate nut icing, these wonderfully rich bars indeed are a sweet treat.

Why don't you try baking it in a 9 x 13 pan instead of a 15 x 10. There should be enough cookie dough for that size pan. I haven't made this recipe yet, but I have made similar recipes and can tell from the ingredients that it is one that my family will enjoy.

The recipe calls for an 18 oz. pkg of refrigerated chocolate chip cookies. This size may have been available in 1996 but all I could find in 2011 was 16.5 oz. pkgs. Of course, this was not enough to fill the 15x10-in. pan. I went ahead and made the recipe anyway and the bars were very good. IF I make it again, I will have to do some revamping of the recipe.
