Now, you can also make actual cookies out of this batter, but I decided to make cookie cake and cut it into smaller bars, to mix things up a little. But as I said, it is totally okay to make cookies and actually I made a few of them, just to show you it is possible and they came out just fine.
I added a little fruit on top of the bars to add freshness and extra flavor. I added blueberries and sour cherries because they are not so sweet, so it's perfectly balanced with sweet cookie cake bar. But you can add any fruit you want, strawberries would be perfect as well.
And if you want to take the recipe to the next level, you can include some chopped almonds or hazelnuts to the batter. It will add extra crunch to the bars. I also added cinnamon, because you know, cinnamon just makes everything better.
