Check out these Sugar Cookie Bars!
Just look at that ooey-gooey goodness! These sugar cookie bars are not just any cookie; they are the life of the party! Perfect for potlucks, picnics, or just because you want to eat the entire pan by yourself (we won’t tell, promise!).
Ingredients
Gather these delightful ingredients and prepare yourself for a sugar high that will have you singing (or at least dancing) in the kitchen:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional, but why not add some pizzazz?)
- 1/4 cup frosting (store-bought or homemade, we won’t judge)
- Sprinkles (because who can resist sprinkles?!)
Instructions
Now that you have everything, let’s whip it up like we mean it!
- Preheat that oven to 350°F (or 175°C for our metric friends) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan. How can we expect greatness without proper preparation?
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this wonderful mixture aside like it’s having a day off.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy – just like your dreams after devouring these bars!
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract (and almond extract if you’re feeling adventurous) and mix until combined. No egg shenanigans here, please!
- Gradually blend the dry ingredients into this delightful concoction. Mix until you can’t see any dry bits lingering like they’re uninvited guests.
- Spread the batter in your prepared pan, smoothing it out like a perfectly paced salsa dance.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and your kitchen smells like heaven. Be careful not to over-bake, or you’ll have sugar bricks instead of bars!
- Let them cool completely before frosting. Patience is key (and sometimes the hardest part)!
- Spread that frosting like you spread joy, and top with sprinkles. Finally, slice them into squares of pure happiness.
There you have it! Sugar cookie bars that will not only bring smiles but also create sweet memories. Dive in and enjoy every delicious morsel because life is too short to skip dessert!
