Cashew Cookie Bars - Larabar copycat

I tried making my own Cherry Pie Larabars a while back which turned out great.  I saw this copy cat recipe of another Larabar flavor - Cashew Cookie.  I've never tried the real one, but I have to say this was pretty good.  I still like the tart flavors of the Cherry Pie one better, but these were so easy to make and were a nice snack when you want something sweet.
