Sugar Cookie Cake Bars
September 2, 2016
Sugar cookies usually are always a win in any situation. You get an easy recipe to follow with ingredients you already have on hand most likely,and it really doesn’t take a lot of effort or time to make – which means you can enjoy them even sooner. These soft cookies are a cross between cookie and cake, you get the same taste but with a little more soft dense bite, and top it off with the classic white frosting you have a great treat for the whole family to enjoy.
While Everyone liked them , the next time these are made think I’ll use a bigger pan, possibly a jelly roll pan to thin them out even more- otherwise they are perfect little sweet morsels. It would be less cookie time of course so if you use a larger pan keep that in mind. On to the recipe!
- ½ cup butter softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2½ cups all purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- Preheat oven to 375 F. degrees. Grease a 9x13" pan.
- Cream the butter and sugar together , once creamed add in the eggs and vanilla. Mix until all combined then start adding the flour and baking soda. Mix until all incorporated.
- Take the dough and press the dough into greased pan, press dough down evenly throughout pan.
- Bake 15-20 minutes or until the edges are starting to turn a slight golden brown. Let the cookies cool completely before frosting.
- To make the frosting: combine all the ingredients & beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Spread over sugar cookie bars and add sprinkles if wanted . Cut into squares and serve .

You can add some flare with sprinkles! These would make a great treat for the school bake sale or even class party! One pan goes a long way. Cut a little over an inch give or take you can get nearly 40 from a pan. Hope you enjoy!
