It's National Cookie Day!

Did you know that? I didn't know ahead of time, but it just so happens that I was planning to make Chocolate Caramel Bars today for a family Christmas party tomorrow. And I was planning on serving a few of them tonight for a game night with friends. So that works out well.

The bars have a layer of oats, sugar and butter, then are drizzled with caramel and chocolate chips, with another layer of the oat mixture on top. They're very rich, and very good! If you'd like to make them, you can find the recipe here.

I omit the nuts and use the caramel dip found in many stores' produce sections in place of the wrapped caramels and heavy cream. Much easier and a lot less cleanup that way.

Now, what more of an excuse do you need to enjoy a cookie today? Happy National Cookie Day!
