The first week I started my blog I cam across these fun Sugar Cookie Bars on Anne Marie's of Taste Buds blog. I could not wait to give them a try. So easy and it did not seem like work at all. We made a couple of changes to the recipe. I cut back on 1 cup of sugar and shortening in the frosting works for me thanks again to Annie Marie for such a fun easy recipe.
Iced Sugar Cookie Bars
1 cup butter; room temp
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
5 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 teaspoon soda
Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each egg. Add vanilla & mix well. In a separate bowl combine flour, salt & soda & stir with a whisk to combine. Add to wet mixture and mix just until combined. Spread on a greased baking sheet (I used a 13 x 18 half sheet pan). Bake at 375 degrees for 10-15 min, until light golden brown or until a toothpick comes out clean.
1/2 cup butter; room temp
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons of milk
food coloring (if desired)
For frosting combine butter and one cup of powdered sugar until creamy add another cup of sugar one at a time until desired smoothenes. Then add milk and vanilla and mix well until smooth. Spread on cooled cookies.

I'm sorry the movies were a bust. I'll bet the sugar cookies lifted your spirits, though. They sound really good.
The sugar cookie bars sound terrific, another one for the list to try.
Wow I have never heard of a sugar cookie bar before! YUM!
I love sugar cookies, in fact, they're my favorite kind of cookie. Especially if they're frosted. I can't wait to try these!
Ooooh, yummy. I could make myself a pan of these and eat the whole thing!
So many people have given this recipe thumbs up that it just has to be good. They look delicious. Are they cakey? Do they stay soft or are they crispy?
Those DO look fun, easy, and delicious! I love sugar cookies anyway, so I'm sure that these are terrific, especially with FROSTING!
Coleen: They were not cakey at all soft in the middle a little hard on the edge. They were still soft the next day. We loved them and so did the neighbors. Lynette
What a great treat!
These remind me of a cookie my mother would make except this adds frosting. The vanilla flavored icing would be a great touch.
Oh my those look very tasty! I can not wait to give them a try.
