Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375*F. Line a 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper or foil and spray with cooking spray, set it aside.
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt, set aside.
- In the body of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment cream the butter with the sugar until light and fluffy, 2 minutes.
- Scrape down the sides.
- Add the eggs one at a time, letting the first egg mix all the way in before adding the next.
- Add the vanilla and mix it in until combined.
- Add the flour mixture and stir it in until combined, scrape down the sides, and mix it in a few more times until fully mixed in.
- Add the sprinkles and stir them in.
- Press the cookie dough into the prepared baking dish until even.
- Bake for 25-28 minutes until lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Place on a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the bars cool, make the frosting by placing the butter into a large bowl with an electric hand mixture and whipping until smooth.
- Add in the powdered sugar a little at a time until fully mixed.
- Add the salt, vanilla, and milk, stir it in until combined then place the mixer on medium-high speed and whip for 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Once the cookie is cool, take it out of the baking dish and frost the top.
- Add more sprinkles if desired.
- Cut into bars and serve.

Notes
- These sugar cookie bars are thicker than your normal sugar cookie bar. They cook up nice and thick with a terrific chew. They taste just like frosted sugar cookies but in bar form.
- Add your favorite extract flavors to mix up the flavor of the bars. You can also dye the frosting whatever color you like.
- I use jimmie style sprinkles because they tend not to bleed.
