Best Sugar Cookie Bars Recipe perfect for that family party. So much easier to make than rolled Sugar Cookies.
SUGAR COOKIE BARS
We love these Sugar Cookie Bars! They are so delicious and easy to make. Perfect for when you need to bring a dessert to a family party or get together. They taste just like your favorite Sugar Cookie but without all the work of rolling them out!
Now, I am not a big fan of frosting. I like to have just a thin little line of frosting to add a little bit of flavor to my Sugar Cookie Bar. So when I make them, I only add a little bit of frosting. But I realize that there are some of you who are frosting lovers. You can pile the frosting as thick as you want to make it just right for you and your taste preferences.
I also love that this batch of cookies can serve a large number of people. So when we had a recent family get together I brought this pan of cookies and there was enough for everyone with a few leftovers!

Cindy Doyle saysI don’t see chocolate chips in the cookies. Are they white chocolate?

These are sugar cookie bars. They have a layer of frosting on top and the cookie is just a sugar cookie. Hope this helps.

Is this the correct recipe for this article? It calls for chocolate chips and crushed candy cane ….. neither of those ingredients are in the photos.
