Convert cookie recipe to cookie bar recipe?

How can I convert my favorite cookie recipe to cookie bar recipe? More flour, less flour? I think there's a trick to it.

It's a basic oatmeal cookie recipe with some of the shortning being replaced by peanut butter.

    Unlike drop cookies, which use a soft dough, bar cookies are made with a fluid batter that needs a baking pan with sides for support to bake in.

    bake them in a pan instead of dropping small amounts in cookie shapes. I don't change a thing except maybe make a double batch since its so much easier. I like to under bake them just a bit, and I also make sure the dough is spread out to its not too thick in the pan so I don't end up over baking because the edges can get pretty hard.

    Just watch the time closely--a full sheet of dough will probably take quite a bit longer to bake completely & maybe keep the oven temp around 350 degrees (to avoid over-baked edges)

    Just take you cookie dough and spread it on the cookie sheet rather than drop it on.
