Got Butter? Assignment 2.

I finally got around to making the oatmeal-coconut cookie bars tonight, and BOY are they buttery!

I didn’t really make any modifications to the recipe, other than instead of buttering the pan I just sprayed it with olive oil. I don’t think doing that effected anything negatively at all.

I grabbed my pan out of the oven at the perfect time. Just slightly browned on top.

I think this recipe is honestly a bit too rich for me. I ate one bar by itself, and am yet to try it with some ice cream as the recipe suggests. I think that with ice cream the butteryness would perhaps be balanced out a bit somehow, and if it is then I would like these a whole lot more. 

As is, if I were to make these again, I’d definitely add some raisins, apricots or dried cherries to give them more pizzazz. But like I said, they’re just so rich I’m not sure I’ll be up for another round of these suckers.
