Bull's Eyes

Despite the heat, I was really in the mood to bake squares today. I decided to try Bull's Eyes from "Mrs. Fields Cookie Book". This recipe simply involves making a batch of chocolate chip cookie dough (about 3 1/2 dozen), pressing it in a 9x13 inch pan, and sprinkling it with one cup of sweetened shredded coconut. Then, mix up half a batch of double chocolate chip cookies (2 dozen), shape them, and place one on top of each square, making a toal of twenty-four squares. Then bake at 300F for 50-60 minutes. This format makes the squares really easy to cut, and easy to know how much one serving size is. You could probably use any recipe for chocolate chip and double chocolate chip cookies to make these squares. Maybe you could even experiment with other types of cookies; try peanut butter cookies with chocolate chip banana cookies or molasses cookies with rasin cookies. The possibilities are endless. These truly are delicious squares, it's like eating two cookies in one!
