I am bringing in sugar cookie bars today, but I did not bake them today.  It is over 100 degrees so turning on an oven is not ideal.  So what i did was bake a couple of treats when it was cooler and froze them.  These are one of those treats.  They can also be celebratory treats for the USMNT’s win over Bosnia Herzegovina last night to advance to the round of 16 at the world cup.
