Strawberry Vanilla Cookie Bars

Strawberry Vanilla Cookie Bars

Strawberry Vanilla Cookie Bars! Yesterday, I told you how we always have a swim party at the end of Summer for my husband’s family and of course, food! I don’t know if you’re like me but when I’m trying to make something new and I’m taking it to share with others, I never know if it’s going to turn out as I want it to.

So, that usually means I’m going to make two things, just to have a backup plan. I was lucky, both desserts turned out amazing! The cherry pie bars and strawberry vanilla cookie bars, but out of both of the desserts this one was gone first!
