This is a copycat version of a bar cookie I saw at Starbucks. Having had a fun day hanging out with Fuzz, shopping for camp stuff and perusing the shelves at Barnes and Noble, we stopped into Starbucks for a smoothie. I didn’t intend on buying a pastry and was able to resist the urge, [...]

The recipe is from Tender at the Bone, which is my favorite of all Ruth Reichl’s books. I’m not sure why I didn’t make the recipe back when I read the book, but it might have been due to the fact I did not own a stand mixer. The brownies can be made …
