What are Frosted Sugar Cookie Bars?

These bars are a twist on the classic sugar cookie, instead of individual cookies, these bars are baked in a single pan and then generously topped with a luscious layer of vanilla frosting. The result? A chewy, sweet sensation that captures the essence of the holidays in every bite. Did I mention they are also Gluten-Free?

Tips for the Perfect Sugar Cookie Bars

Line with Parchment Paper: Use enough parchment paper to line the bottom and come up over the edges of the baking dish. This will prevent the bars from sticking to the bottom of the dish and make it easy to remove them.

Avoid Over Mixing: This can result in tough and dry bars. Mix until the ingredients are just combined.

Get Creative with Frosting: Feel free to add a drop or two of food coloring to your frosting for a festive touch. Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, try different flavored extracts like almond or peppermint for a unique twist.

Slice with Precision: For picture-perfect bars, use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between each cut. This prevents the frosting from smearing and gives you those clean lines.
