Raspberry Oatmeal Bar

My work has an annual cookie RECIPE exchange.  We bring two cookies and attach the recipe.  This gives me a new supply of cookies to bake, and I don't have to suffer through a few dozen bad cookies if it's not to my liking.  My principal brought the following recipe and it definitely made my top 2.  Yu-um.  So...if you are thinking Christmas (and who isn't....uhh...right?) and trying to decide on what you want to bake, OR if you just want a great new cookie/bar to try.  Here's one I've added to my sugar fix rotation.
