Magic Cookie Bars

Sugar Spice and Spilled Milk 

This recipe became popular a long time ago, and I think it was in the '60's or '70's. I've seen different variations of the same recipe, and I suspect any version is hard to resist. This is a dessert even a beginner can make with success. Why not put on your bell-bottomed pants and bake up some of these goodies for someone who remembers the originals?
