Description

Delight in these soft, chewy sugar cookie bars topped with a creamy glaze. Perfect for any occasion, these treats satisfy your sweet tooth and evoke cherished memories.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients while mixing gently until just combined.
  5. Bake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown around the edges and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Frost: Allow the bars to cool completely before frosting with buttercream made from powdered sugar, softened butter, milk, and vanilla extract.
  7. Serve: Cut into squares and enjoy!
