Frosting

Notes
- Make sure the bars are completely cooled before frosting so the frosting will set and not just melt all over the place.

- Change up the sprinkles in the cookie dough and as decorations to turn these into Halloween cookie bars, Easter bars, etc.
- Freeze these sugar cookie bars. Cut into squares, wrap each individual square in plastic wrap, then put all of the individual bars into a freezer safe container or zipper bag. Freeze for up to three months. Thaw bars individually to room temperature before eating.
