I'm sure some bakers have tried this recipe before. My grandmother Reta Harmon use to make these every year for Christmas. Reta was a beautiful woman with very petite features and a complexion full of freckles. Just my luck, I got her freckles but not her petite features. Mimi, as all her grandchildren called her was soft spoken with a very gentle touch. When Mimi stayed with us kids while my parents had a second honeymoon, I will never forget sitting at the snack bar in awe of how fast she could butter a piece of toast. I remember trying to emulate her quick hands. Todate I still don't think I could out butter a piece of toast against her.
Weather you call these cookies Magic Bars or Seven Layer Bars they will really hit your sweet tooth.
