Why are my cookie bars hard?
Overmixing develops the gluten in the flour, which can produce tough bars. If the recipe doesn’t call for an electric mixer, mix in dry ingredients using a wooden spoon.

How do you know when a cookie bar is done?
For cake-like bars, test with a wooden pick inserted at the center of the pan. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it, the cookies are done. Chewy (moister) bars will have a dull, rather than shiny, surface; a slight imprint will remain after touching the surface lightly with your fingertip.
