Having a recipe like these Sugar Cookie Bars that's super simple to put together, uses typical pantry staple ingredients, and bakes up quickly and perfectly every time is my kinda recipe!
INGREDIENTS
¾ cup unsalted butter room temperature1 1¼ cups granulated sugar1 large egg room temperature1 large egg yolk room temperature2 teaspoons vanilla extract½ teaspoon kosher salt 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour½ cup sprinkles optional
What Makes These The Perfect Bars
– easy– use only (or mainly) pantry staples– super tasty– chewy and not cakey
BAKING TIP
Omitting leavener such as baking soda or baking powder helps to contribute to the texture of these cookie bars.
FROSTED OR UNFROSTED COOKIE BARS?
I choose not to frost these sugar cookie bars, but instead add sprinkles to the batter. I find that these are sweet but not overly sweet.
TIP FOR BAKING COOKIE BARS
If you do, however, want cakey sugar cookie bars, I suggest baking these for an additional 5 minutes longer to achieve that texture
