Ultimate Bar Cookies

This week is just about to start, and I'm already rushed for time. I have tons of things to do for work, a lot to study for school (Genetics and Organic Chemistry), and I have a pretty huge order for Saturday. All this translates into me not having any time at all for baking, no less breathing. If you need a quick cookie fix, just like I did the other day, then these cookies from The Ultimate Cookie Book are the thing for you. They're really quick to make and are great to share because it meets everyone's tastes "with walnuts, macadamia nuts, milk chocolate, and white chocolate [so] these bars can't help being anything but absolutely delicious."
