Sugar Cookie Bars
These sugar cookie bars are sweet, tasty, and made festive with rainbow sprinkles.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons corn starch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup rainbow sprinkles (an additional tablespoon for sprinkling on top if desired)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, corn starch, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together butter, sugar, and vanilla.
- Mix egg into wet ingredients. (If butter is still quite warm from melting, be sure to mix egg in rapidly so that it doesn't become a scrambled egg in the batter.)
- Gradually stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients until almost completely blended together.
- Add 1/3 cup sprinkles to cookie dough and mix until evenly distributed. Dry ingredients should also now be fully incorporated.
- Press dough into prepared pan. Add remaining tablespoon of sprinkles on top if you choose using (no need to press these into the dough).
- Bake 30 minutes or until slightly golden on top and a test toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool completely before cutting into 16 squares.
