Chef's Note
These cookie bars have been protein-boosted to make them more filling and nutritious while still being kid-friendly. For a softer, more gooey center, reduce the baking time by 2-3 minutes. You can store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze them for a quick treat later!
