YOU WILL LOVE THESE FROSTED SUGAR COOKIE BARS

April 11, 2022

There is a man in my life; I stalk him weekly and I always leave him messages. He is a lifestyle blogger. I pretty much pin every single thing he publishes. I could not wait to make these frosted sugar cookie bars he shared on his blog shared below (like 4 scrolls down).

Believe me it was intentional because once you check out his blog you may never leave.

The ingredient list was short and the bake time was under 20 minutes. And, no cookie cutters are needed for these sugar cookie bars.

Until I made this recipe, it never occurred to me that I could bake sugar cookies without cookie cutters.

Yep, the only thing you need for these sugar cookie bars is a sheet pan. I decided to use two smaller baking sheets so I could adjust the thickness of the cookie dough on the second pan.

The second baking sheet was covered with about 1/2 of the cookie dough.

I like my sugar cookies (and bars) thick. Kind of like my middle after inhaling a pan of these frosted cookies.

Michael, my blogger crush, created a beautiful ombre frosting technique. It was an epic fail on my end of the country. 

Frosting Fiasco 

When my ombre-tinted frosted started with a Pepto Bismol shade of pink it was impossible to take it down to a blush. Attempts to add more neutral frosting just made it a lighter shade of Pepto Bismol. 

So I put the Pepto Bismol tinted frosting and the two additional shades of pink aide and started over. I used a smidge of pink tint to create a shade of blush for my frosted sugar cookie bars. The lesson: I made an edit and saved the frosting. #everydayedits

I found my new favorite frosted sugar cookie bars recipe from Michael over at Inspired by Charm. In full disclosure, I saved the link to his blog for the end of my post. Because, once you click over to his blog, I may not see you at mine! Make sure you tell him his Colorado stalker sent you!
