It is no secret how much I love sugar cookie bars. They are easily adjustable for any Holiday or event-related baking. Because you can take that sugar cookie bar and with tweaks to sprinkles, toppings, frosting colors, and more you can make it into whatever you want! They are the King of versatile desserts!
This year we are slowly venturing out of our bubble of sharing absolutely no baked goods with anyone, to planning on taking small platefuls of Holiday treats to close friends and family. I know how much I loved receiving my first-ever sugar cookie bar during the Holidays, and so this year I am hoping to pass some of these Funfetti Holiday Sugar Cookie Bars on to people we love!
Here’s what you need to do to make them:
Cookie Bar Batter
1 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
3 tablespoons of Holiday sprinkles
Frosting and Decor
*I used a regular tub of cream cheese frosting! Brilliant right?
Holiday decor pieces. These can be chocolate chips, sprinkles, holiday gummy candies, or whatever you want. I used cute little Hershey’s Holiday chocolate trees and stockings to top these. I picked them up at my local grocery store.
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a half baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix together the flour, salt, and baking powder in a small bowl. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla. Mix until combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir again until combined. Then add in your Holiday Funfetti Sprinkles!
Press into prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until barely light brown. Cool completely.
Frost the sugar cookie bar right in the pan, still with the parchment paper with a nice even layer of your cream cheese frosting. Cut about 12 to 15 bars and then sprinkle each bar with your toppings.
Because of the parchment paper, serving from the pan is super easy!
