Ingredients That Make Magic Happen
Grab a pen or just use your phone’s notepad (because we know how organized you are!). Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sprinkles (because, well, sprinkles!)
It’s Time for the Cookie Transformation!
Now, let’s mix it up! Follow these steps, and you’ll be on your way to dessert heaven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan. You’ll want to make sure your bars don’t stick like they owe you money!
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until it’s smooth, fluffy, and looks like a cloud of delicious dreams.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Don’t be shy; mix it like you mean it!
- Stir in the vanilla extract. The more the merrier!
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until combined. Don’t over-mix, we’re not making bread here, folks!
- Fold in the sprinkles, because cookies are better with a pop of color. Who needs plain when you can have fabulous?
- Spread the dough evenly in the prepared baking pan, smoothing it down. Make sure it’s even, or they might bake unevenly (and nobody has time for lopsided cookies!).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Resist the urge to eat them straight from the oven; let them cool!
Once cooled, cut them into delightful squares, and there you have it—Quick and Easy Sugar Cookie Bars ready to eat! Serve them at a party, or just keep them all to yourself (we won’t tell). Enjoy your sweet treat adventure!
