Making The Sugar Cookie Bars

• Pre-heat the oven to 375-degrees

• In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

• Then, in a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy

• Add the egg, vanilla, and sour cream and mix well

• Gradually add the flour mixture until combined

• Next, grease a 9×13 baking pan and press the mixture down until its even in the pan

• Bake for 17-20 minutes until the edges are slightly golden

• Set it aside to cool and begin preparing the buttercream

Making The Buttercream

• Cream softened butter in a mixer until fluffy

• Then, alternate adding the powdered sugar and half and half slowly in a mixer until smooth

• Add in vanilla extract until combined

• If desired, add a few drops of food coloring before frosting

• Frost your cookie bars and decorate with sprinkles, candies, or another topping of your choice!

• TIP: I highly recommend putting the cookie bars in the fridge for a half hour or so before cutting in squares. I jumped the gun and it was a bit messy, but oh so good! 🙂
