Amy’s 1785 Inn Ten Layer Cookies

Sharing an oldie but a goodie, really goodie, with Amy’s 1785 Inn 10 Layer Cookies.  They’re actually cookie bars, but let’s not split hairs.  They are delicious and were shared by our sister, Amy Eason, who posted this recipe on our original blog, Mormon Mavens in the Kitchen.  Over 30, ooo views on this recipe!  Let’s add to that.

I don’t normally try these layered cookie bar recipes because I typically go for the simpler type.  Remember Congo Bars? I never made any of those, but they were a super popular recipe back in the day. However, I will say that these are pretty darn good.  So many layers of rich, gooey (mine were, anyway), sweet deliciousness.  Don’t even ask about calories or fat grams on these.  You don’t want to know, and I completely ignored it.

These have also been kid-tested and approved by my 2 1/2 year-old granddaughter and her 17 month-old brother.

You have a nut option on this and I used pecans instead of walnuts.  I didn’t toast them, like Amy did, but they would definitely heighten the taste.  I just didn’t have the time to do that. I also used a little more butter than it called for because I threw just a little bit too many graham crackers into the food processor so I ended up with about a half of a cup extra.

I didn’t  have any issues finding the Heath Bar toffee chips.  I wasn’t sure, because I have never used them, but our Wal-Mart had them.

This would be a great dessert to take to your next church or social function and you will come back with an empty platter.  You could also make Dungeon Bars as another choice.  I will be taking mine to the beach and I am pretty sure I won’t be coming back with any.

Anyone have any other layered cookie combos?  Share your concoctions in the comments.
