Description

A delightful twist on classic sugar cookies, these bars are buttery, chewy, and topped with a sweet glaze and sprinkles, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup frosting (optional)
  • Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. Cream together the softened butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  6. Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  8. Let the bars cool completely before frosting and adding sprinkles.

Notes

Make ahead by preparing the dough a day in advance and chilling it. These bars can also be made in an air fryer; just reduce the cooking time.
