Ingredients
FOR THE COOKIES:
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
FOR THE FROSTING:
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of kosher salt
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 3 Tablespoons milk
- 1 drop blue food coloring I use gel, optional
- Sprinkles optional
Instructions
- For the cookies, beat butter and sugar for 2 minutes on medium high with an electric mixer, scraping sides down occasionally. Add vanilla and eggs and beat until combined. Add flour, baking powder and salt, mixing until fully blended.
- Line a 15x10x1 baking sheet with parchment paper. Using floured hands, drop dough onto baking sheet and press until evenly distributed. This takes a minute or two, but it can be done!
- Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15-18 minutes, until the edges begin to brown. Remove from oven and cool completely.
- For the frosting, beat butter and vanilla on high for two minutes until fluffy. Add salt, powdered sugar ad milk and beat for 3-5 minutes until fluffy and fully blended. Beat in food coloring until combined. Spread on cooled cookie bars and add sprinkles. Cut into squares and enjoy!!

Notes
- STORAGE: store frosted cookie bars in airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. OR, freeze cookies in airtight container for up to 3 months.
- FOOD COLORING: I love using gel food coloring for best results. Only a tiny bit is needed, and it doesn't change the texture or flavor of the frosting.
