Everything Layer Bar Cookies are an easy bar cookie recipe – and they are always a favorite.

Perfect for one of this year’s 12 Days of Christmas Cookies!

Much like Magic Bars, you make these cookies in layers. But this recipe has a twist. You bake the bottom layer first. Once it has set, you remove the baking pan from the oven and add the other layers.

And we all know from the name of the recipe that the toppings include all the good stuff in your baking pantry: chocolate, nuts, and dried fruit.

Prep time: 10 minutes
Bake time: 40 minutes, divided
Makes 35 bars
