Lofthouse Sugar Cookie Bars

Lofthouse Sugar Cookie Bars

tremendous smooth sugar cookies piled with vanilla buttercream frosting and plenty of sprinkles! Tastes much like a Lofthouse Sugar cookie, and so smooth to bake on account that they’re in bar shape. I’ve been meaning to make these cookie bars all the time, and now i will clearly say they were worth the wait. And that it won’t be the ultimate time they make an look in my kitchen!

I fell in love with Granny B’s sugar cookies again when i was attending university in Utah. if you’re surprising with Granny B’s Frosted Sugar Cookies (the “authentic” purple cookie), you’ve probably attempted a Lofthouse Sugar cookie. They’re essentially the identical issue, however a Granny’s cookie is the scale of your face. So… higher.

INGREDIENTS:

For the cookie base:

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1½ cups sugar
• 1 egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2½ cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda

For the frosting:

• 3/4 cup salted butter, room temperature
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3-4 tablespoons heavy cream
• sprinkles

INSTRUCTIONS :

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Prepare a 9x13 jelly roll pan or baking dish by lining it with parchment paper or foil and lightly spraying with cooking spray.
2. Use an electric mixer to beat together the butter and cream cheese until smooth. Mix in the sugar, and be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
3. Mix in the egg and the vanilla.
4. Add the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix until soft dough forms.
5. Spread the dough evenly in the pan or dish. Bake for 20 minutes. Let cool completely before frosting (recipe follows) and cutting.
