Notes

For a chewier gluten free cookie bars, slightly underbake.
You can also add other mix-ins to the cookie dough, such as nuts, dried fruit, or candy.
If you are using cookie dough mix, be sure to follow the package directions for the correct ingredients to use.
Make sure that the pre-made cookie dough is gluten free if you are gluten free. If you are not gluten free you can choose any cookie dough.
Bake the cookie bars until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry.
Let the cookie bars cool completely before cutting them into bars.
Do not stack gluten free cookie bars on top of each other, as this will make them moist and sticky.
If you are storing the gluten free cookie bars in the refrigerator, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
When you are ready to serve the cookie bars, remove them from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before cutting them.
