These sugar cookie bars give you all the tastes and textures that you want and expect in a sugar cookie, yet, they are so much simpler to prepare! The cookie is super thick, very moist and buttery, has a slightly tender crumb and sweetness, which pairs so wonderfully with the rich and sweet vanilla buttercream frosting. I halved the recipe and baked it in a 9x9-inch pan; the original recipe calls for a 13x18-inch pan. I can't remember where I found this recipe, but, it is very popular all over! Give them a try, they are perfect for any holiday or occasion.
Frosted Sugar Cookie Bars:
-1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
-1 cup sugar
-2 eggs
-1 tsp. vanilla
-2 1/2 cups flour
-1/2 tsp. salt
-1/4 tsp. baking soda
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9x9-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each egg. Add vanilla and mix well. In a seperate bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking soda with a whisk to combine. Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined. Spread into prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until light golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Vanilla Buttercream Frosting:
-1/4 cup butter, melted
-2 cups powdered sugar
-1/8 -1/4 cup milk
-1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Spread over cooled cookie and decorate as desired.
