Edit
These Soft and Chewy Sugar Cookie Bars feature a tender sugar cookie base topped with fluffy frosting and sprinklesI made these bars on Thursday evening and everyone loves them. Yes, they are a bit sweet, but very good. I added pure strawberry extract and made pink frosting. Next time I’ll use pistachio extract into green frosting.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons full fat sour cream
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- For the frosting:
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 6 tablespoons whipping cream
- a splash vanilla extract
- a pinch sea salt
- food colouring if desired
- sprinkles if desired
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9-inch by 13-inch rectangular baking pan with butter.
- In a large bowl using a hand mixer or in the bowl of your stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar on high speed for several minutes until they're creamed together (fluffy and smooth and pale in colour).
