Ingredients:
For the sugar cookie bars:
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) salted butter softened to room temp.
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup festive sprinkles
For the frosting:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) salted butter softened to room temp.
- 3 tbsp cream cheese softened
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 tbsp milk
- additional sprinkles
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350f degrees. Line a 9×9″ baking pan with parchment paper.
Beat together butter and sugar until fluffy, then beat in egg and vanilla. Finally, beat in flour and baking powder, a little at a time, until you have a thick batter. Gently stir in the sprinkles.
Spread batter into it prepared baking pan.
Bake at 350 f degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Once it’s finished baking, take the cookie bar out of the oven and allow it to cool fully. Once it is cooled, carefully lift the sides of the parchment paper to pull the whole cookie bar out of the baking pan.
To make the frosting, blend together powdered sugar, butter, cream cheese, vanilla, and milk with an electric mixer. Spread frosting generously on cookie bar, and top with additional sprinkles.
Cut into squares and serve immediately or let the frosting set for a firmer texture.
