Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
Despite her age, Grandma was anything but square, especially when it came to cutting bar cookies. For a different look, she often cut them into diamond shapes. Grandma used a sharp knife to cut straight lines down the length of the pan. Then she cut more straight lines the same width apart diagonally across the pan to form diamonds.
