Sugar Cookie Bars
Cookie
3 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
cut in
1 cup butter, softened mix in
2 Eggs
4 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Frosting
6 cups powdered sugar
2/3 cup butter, softened
1 tablespoon almond or vanilla extract
8-10 tablespoons milk or heavy whipping cream
5 drops red food coloring
Instructions for cookies: Sift together sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in butter. In a separate bowl, beat eggs, milk, and vanilla. Slowly add in flour mixture. Press dough out on a jellyroll sheet pan. I like to dip my fingers in a little bit of flour so the dough won't stick to me. Bake at 350 degrees for 14 minutes (a minute or two less/longer depending on your preference). Also-- We prefer to use a silicone baking mat. Parchment paper will work well too.
Frosting: Mix all ingredients together with a mixer until frosting is the right consistency. Add more milk or powdered sugar if needed.
