Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Half Sheet Pan
  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

Sugar Cookie Bars

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4 3/4 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

Frosting

  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 3 Tablespoons milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3-4 cups powdered sugar
  • pink food coloring
  • sprinkles for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until fluffy.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each egg.
  • Mix in vanilla.
  • Beat in flour, salt and baking soda until well combined.
  • Spread and press dough onto a half sheet pan (18"x13"x1") sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until just golden brown; let cool completely.
  • In a large bowl using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, combine all frosting ingredients and beat until light and fluffy.
  • Spread frosting in an even layer on cooled cookie bars and top with sprinkles, if desired.

Notes

  • If you double it, you would need to put it in 2 cookie sheet pans. A double batch in one pan would have a hard time cooking all the way through.
