Notes: The corporate office of Highlights for Children is located in Honesdale, PA. At Christmas the town has a Christmas Carnival, and local businesses host events. Highlights has a huge open house serving cookies, hot chocolate, coffee and tea, and offers children's books published by them, at a discounted price, a once-a-year event that residents stock up on Christmas presents, including me especially when my grandchildren were young. While working at their Conference Center I was in charge of making sure there were enough cookies, and that we wouldn't run out, I baked cookies for a solid week prior, day and night. I would bake in our ovens at the Conference Center and come home and bake more in my own kitchen. These Cheesecake Bars are cookie-like and one of the items that I made, so if you are making this for a crowd and using a half-sheet pan, multiply the recipe by 3 for each pan you are baking.
