Sugar Cookie Bars

After seeing this recipe for Sugar Cookie Bars on several blogs I finally gave in to make them. These are easy to serve for large crowds and gives you that childhood feeling again. I like when a dessert can take me back in time! Nothing like a thick sugar cookie with a hefty layer of frosting. I opted to make my own frosting. I went with cream cheese frosting because it would make a good contrast to the sugar cookie. Plus it uses real ingredients, and not shortening that is called for in the original. So I of course made a few mistakes. I'm always goofing up something! I used too small of a pan and the cookies were slightly under cooked. I'm not always a perfect baker! At least I'm honest ;) Don't make the mistake I made, make sure you use a the large baking sheet it calls for, I used my pyrex thinking it was the right size. Boy was I wrong! 15 minutes and my bars were still not cooked. So I cooked them longer. I just couldn't figured it out until I finally added the frosting and ready to cut them into squares I realized I probably used the wrong size pan. ;) They were still delicious regardless!

They look fantastic! I bet the cream cheese frosting was amazing with them. Course, cream cheese frosting is awesome with so many things. ;)

These are definitely one of those recipes you can't go wrong with! It could even be like a birthday "cake" ;)
