Magic Cookie Bars are a must at our Christmas table. Until last year, my grandmother, Delores Fonda, made them. She recommends eating them frozen. Indeed, they are much better that way and soft enough for whatever reason. She can’t travel or cook anymore and I asked her if we can share the recipe. She doesn’t care. I can actually picture her with her arms crossed in her chair, shrugging and saying, “I don’t care”
