Week 2 Intro - Biscuit Bars & Bar Cookies plus Weekly Discussion!

Hello, bakers, and welcome to Week 2! Your challenge this week is biscuit bars or bar cookies! That’s basically any cookie or biscuit that you bake in a pan (as opposed to cut-out or drop biscuits/cookies) and then cut up (usually into squares).

If you’re in the Northern hemisphere, there aren’t too many fruits in season, so you might consider a chocolate chip cookie bar or warm-spiced gingerbread bars. If you're determined to do something fruity, you might consider using pear or cranberry.

If you’re in the Southern hemisphere, you could try fruit bars such as raspberry streusel bars or strawberry oatmeal bars.

Either way, we encourage you to share why you chose your particular recipe/challenge. For anyone who missed Week One, welcome! We are also experimenting with combining the Weekly Challenge with the Weekly Discussion, since we can only have two stickied threads. So please feel free to use this thread for any discussion, baking or non-baking related!
