Gluten Free Congo Bars

Congo Bar


Is it a bar or is it a cookie?  Or is it a cookie bar? It’s a Congo Bar!

Another great cookie recipe sent to me to convert for my GF friend Bonnie from Spokane. Bonnie has been at all of my events in the Spokane area.  I call her one of my groupies.  This is a lady with great enthusiasm and who really enjoys people.  Thank you Bonnie for sharing your recipe with us!
