I wanted to make cookies for work tomorrow morning as college football’s championship weekend wraps up, but I am also tired (because i put up one of our Christmas trees), so I make them into sugar cookie bars instead.

Remember to scoop from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. Preheat your oven to 35p degrees for 20 minutes before baking. And, don’t bake these longer than 10 to 12 minutes. They may seem a little doughy, but you don’t want them to dry out.

• 1/2 cup butter crisco
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 tbs water
• 1 egg
• 2 1/2 cups flour
