Graham Cracker Bar Cookies: Sweet and Lovely

These cookies are simple and satisfying.  Just so you know, though, they are very high in sugar!  But every once in a while you just need to splurge on sugary sweetness.  This is my little splurge!

Here's a "sweet" treat: Ella Fitzgerald singing "Sweet and Lovely."
