COOKIE BARS:
- ½ cup butter room temp
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup rainbow sprinkles
FROSTING;
- ½ cup unsalted butter room temp
- 3 cups confectioners sugar
- 4 Tablespoons milk

MAKE COOKIE BARS:
Cream the butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla together in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt together and stir into the wet ingredients.
Gently fold in the sprinkles.
Spoon the dough into the pan.
Wet your fingers and press the dough into the pan.
BAKE AND COOL:
Bake for 20 minutes or just until the edges are lightly colored but the top is not browned.
Cool completely, about 90 minutes.
MAKE FROSTING:
Beat the butter, confectioners sugar, milk, and vanilla together in a bowl until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Spread the frosting over the cooled bars.
Add the sprinkles.
Cut into 20 bars and serve.
- Do not overbake. These are best when removed a minute or two early from the oven.
- You can make these with Halloween sprinkles or Christmas.
- This dough is thick and won’t spread easily. Wetting your hands with water is best to prevent the dough from sticking, and press it out evenly in the pan.
- You can color the icing with a few drops of food coloring for a great variation.
