SSB Casserole Cookie Bars


If you only know me from YHN, you might not know that I like to cross stitch. And by “like” I mean… it’s an obsession. So much so, that I am currently participating in a Mystery Steotchalong on a team called the Southern Stitchin’ Bitches (SSB for short and polite company!) We recently had a challenge where we had to create a cookie recipe that represented our team. We had two, but this is the one that we eventually submitted. It was created by Debra Cooley and I think you’ll agree that this is a dessert that even Buddy the Elf would embrace!!

But then I read the recipe and basically…it’s just french toast baked in the oven. Seriously. And this one is made… from donuts! I had been meaning to try it for a while because I saw a recipe that used my beloved Krispy Kreme glazed donuts but they have to be a little dried out and I don’t know about YOUR house, but donuts don’t last that long around here! So I put this together and made a couple of pans (one with apples!) for us to try out. I sent pictures to Anje and Erika who are my Southern gracious lady touchstones, to make sure it looked right. And y’all… it was GOOD!! We had it warm last night and I’m looking forward to tasting it cold tonight!!
