Notes
- If you are not gluten free, feel free to use the same amount of all purpose flour.
- Do not bake too long. The middle will still look a little soft and buttery.
- Allow the bars to fully cool before adding the frosting. The frosting will melt otherwise.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.
