Tips for Perfect Henry's Jerome Bars:

  • Use cold butter: Cold butter creates small pockets of steam during baking, resulting in a flaky, tender crust.
  • Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy: This ensures that the cookies will be evenly textured and have a delicate crumb.
  • Gradually add eggs: Adding eggs one at a time prevents the batter from curdling.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cookie. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps to develop the flavor and makes it easier to handle.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown: Overbaking will dry out the cookies.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting: This helps to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Henry's Jerome Bars are a classic cookie bar that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and always a hit with friends and family. With their sweet, nutty flavor and gooey frosting, these bars are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make treat, give Henry's Jerome Bars a try.
