ULTIMATE CANDY BAR COOKIES
I created these after Halloween, when I had way too much candy left over. You can make them with any mini chocolate candy, but if you use peanut butter cups, throw them in the freezer just before unwrapping so the chocolate won't stick to the paper. -Tara John, Plymouth, Minnesota

VACUUM CLEANER BAR COOKIES
This is a great recipe given to me by a man at work. His wife is a great cook. These little bar cookies are so yummy and easy to make. Cookies are very rich so I cut into small pieces. They are so good that they will be gone in a flash (i.e. sucked up...as in vacuum cleaner). Thank you Pam & Jay for sharing this recipe with me!

VACUUM CLEANER COOKIES
This recipe was originally in the LA Times. The story is that they are so good that they get sucked up like a vacuum cleaner! My neighbor brought some over to us and they were so rich, delicious and different, that I had to have the recipe. You make them like a bar cookie.

Tips:
- Use quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will taste. Use real butter, not margarine, and use high-quality chocolate chips.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The cookies should be baked at a temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). If the oven is too hot, the cookies will brown too quickly and the centers will be undercooked. If the oven is too cool, the cookies will take too long to bake and they will be dry.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them: If you frost the cookies while they are still warm, the frosting will melt and run off the cookies.
Conclusion:
Vacuum cleaner bar cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a quick snack. With a few simple tips, you can make vacuum cleaner bar cookies that are sure to impress your friends and family.
