Pancake Cookie Bars!

A Pancake cookie? OH YEAH BABY, a Pancake Cookie! Soft, moist & with the flavor of Pancakes & Syrup this will delight the kids in your life & tickle the little kid in you! Easy, fast & no mess in this cookie. You may vary this cookie bar with chocolate chips, nuts or other flavor chips like butterscotch or peanut butter. Heck add blueberries or bananas if you wish, make Pancake Cookies your way! I stayed with the basics for this first attempt but I'm thinking pecans or chocolate chips for the next batch! ENJOY YOUR PANCAKES IN A COOKIE, FOODIES!
