Sugar Cookie Bars

So I saw these and thought...I love sugar cookies(as long as they are soft) so I figured these had to be nice, and easier. So I tried it! http://www.crunchyrock.com/2011/01/sugar-cookie-bars.html Here is the recipe Sugar Cookie Bars (Recipe source: Unknown) ((Printable Version)) Ingredients: 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature 2 cups sugar 4 eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla 5 cups flour 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon baking soda Directions: 1. Cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy. 2. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. 3. Meanwhile, mix the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl. 4. Add the vanilla to the creamed mixture and then slowly add the dry ingredients. 5. Press into a greased 13 x 18 inch pan and bake at 375F for 10-15 minutes. 6. Cool and frost (see directions below). Frosting Ingredients: 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature 1/2 cup shortening 1 teaspoon vanilla pinch of salt 4 cups powdered sugar 5 tablespoons of milk food coloring (optional) sprinkles (optional) Directions: 1. In a mixing bowl, beat the shortening and butter until creamy. 2. Add the vanilla and powdered sugar. 3. Gradually add the 5 tablespoons of milk until you reach your desired constancy. 4. For the sprinkles, I found that they rolled all over the place. To help this, place a sheet of plastic wrap over the frosted sugar cookies and gently press the sprinkles into the frosting. 5. Chill and cut.

We cooked it for 14 minutes..not long enough. I have made this one before though and everyone loved it!!! I love to do fun colors for the frosting. Great dessert to take to any gathering. Its also pretty easy to make!! Will surely make it again!!
