Description

Soft, buttery sugar cookie bars adorned with colorful sprinkles, perfect for the holiday season.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup vanilla frosting
  • Festive sprinkles for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 9×13 inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy (3-5 minutes with an electric mixer).
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  4. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until there are no streaks of flour.
  6. Spread the cookie dough evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, checking until the edges turn golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Allow to cool completely, then spread the vanilla frosting on top and sprinkle with festive toppings.
  9. Cut into bars and enjoy!

Notes

Great for cookie swaps and holiday gatherings; can be customized with different toppings.
