Marie Hammons - Shawnee, Kansas
Bake-Off® Contest 14, 1962 Prize Winner
This recipe was developed by mistake by Mrs. Hammons. She was not having success with her usual cookie recipe and so decided to add fruit, nuts and candy to salvage the batter. She then baked the creation in a jellyroll pan. The result is a delicious bar packed with a treasure of goodies!

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
