A Baker’s Dozen of Christmas Cookies — Day 1

My daughter needs to earn her cooking badge for Girl Scouts this year, I’m very excited she’s got a head start on her cooking skills but I wanted her to bake something that would require very minimum supervision. I found this recipe at AJC.com, according to the article “these are the easiest bars you’ll ever make.” Let the baking begin. For a change, substitute peanut butter chips and peanuts for the butterscotch chips and pecans.
