As the holidays get closer, I can’t help but be reminded of my favorite
comfort food, Sugar Cookies! These delicious cookies are by far the
best comfort food. I love baking and decorating them because it allows
me to use my imagination in creating each one. These holiday cookies
also remind me of home and all the fun memories with my family.
Ultimately, sugar cookies remind me of happiness and comfort me
anytime of the year.

Congo Squares
(Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars)
BY AMY PARK (AGRIBUSINESS)
Ingredients
2 ¾ cup white flour (you can use half
whole wheat flour for a pleasant
nutty taste)
2 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
2/3 cup butter or margarine
2 ¼ cups brown sugar
3 eggs
1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or
pecans), optional
2 cups (or 1 package) semi-sweet
chocolate chips
The Congo Squares recipe came from my grandmother and is great
for a quick dessert that feeds a lot of people. Something we needed
since I have 7 brothers and sisters.
Directions
In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium low heat. Once
melted, add brown sugar and stir to combine. Allow to cool slightly.
Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in dry ingredients
until just combined. Add nuts (optional) and chocolate chips, and stir
to combine. Grease and flour a 9” x 13” baking dish. Pour in batter and
spread to corners (batter will be thick). Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30
minutes. Cool on a wire rack and cut into bars. Serve with ice cream or
milk (or just eat them as-is).
