    When I made mine I found that it did not firm up but stayed very soft…almost like a soft fudge texture and very sticky. Did I do something wrong. I followed it to a tea…

      With bar cookies, it helps to insert a toothpick to test for doneness. If the dough still clings to the toothpick when removed, then the cookies need to bake a little longer until a toothpick can be inserted and come out clean.
