I have a zillion recipes for pans of bars -- all you usually need is a 13X9X2 pan. Some require the 15X10 which is the jelly roll pan. But really better than me listing what I like is to link you to my two go-to sources for cookies nowadays
King Arthur flour, http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/cookies-bars-and-candy/brownies-and-bars
And BHG, http://www.bhg.com/recipes/desserts/cookies/bar-cookies/#page=1 and here, http://www.bhg.com/recipes/searchResults.jsp?searchType=text&searchTerm=bar%20cookie
Now a lot of these recipes do have nuts -- they are a very common ingredient in bar recipes. I omit nuts all the time because my family isn't crazy about them. Or, because we like almonds, cashews, and hazelnuts, I'll used them rather than pecans or walnuts.
BHG has tons of cookie recipes so definitely check out their site. That one link is for their "favorite bar" cookies, but there are many, many others. Just search the site for "bar cookies" and you'll find no bake options, holiday options, and many, many, many others. Shortbread is also an option.
I've loved most of the recipes from BHG -- nothing has ever gone badly. They do also have a basic brown sugar drop cookie recipe with add-ins that can be adapted to bars. You just mix up the brown sugar dough, add your stuff, and then pat it into a pan. Let me know if you have any questions!!
