Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
  • Optional: Sprinkles for decoration

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  9. While the bars are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth.
  10. Gradually add the powdered sugar, alternating with the milk, until the frosting is smooth and spreadable. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  11. Once the bars are completely cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the top.
  12. Decorate with sprinkles, if desired.
  13. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

  • Ensure your butter is truly softened for both the cookie dough and the frosting.
  • For easier slicing, you can chill the frosted bars for about 30 minutes before cutting.
  • Feel free to experiment with different food coloring for your frosting to match any occasion.
