Sharon, a real-life cookie taster, loves to bake cookies with her kids, but she said that drop cookies--the little round guys--are a real hassle because scooping and baking individual cookie units is just too time consuming. I see what she means: It's a lot faster and easier to bake all the dough in one shot and then cut individual servings straight from the pan. She's asked me to come up with a bar cookie recipe, and I hope to have one for her really soon. But before then, I thought I'd ask you, dear readers, where you stand on the drop cookies vs. bar cookies issue. Which cookie shape do you prefer? Does shape trump taste?

I said drop cookies, because I like to make mini cookies.

i agree with em for the same reason. a 1" cookie seems cute while a 1" bar seems stingy! but it is a lot more convenient to bake in a single pan and not bother with rolling dozens of dough balls.
i'm excited to see what you come up with!

i'm excited too. i prefer drop cookies but it can get time consuming if you're making recipe after recipe. icebox cookies are another alternative too.

Hooray for the working mom and to those who try to help us! Your bar cookies today are incredible. I can't wait to try them myself.
