Ingredients
For the Bars
- 3 cups flour
- ⅓ cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1 oz bottle red food coloring
For the Cream Cheese Frosting
- 16 oz cream cheese softened
- ½ cup butter softened
- 3 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 13x9 inch pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil and grease. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, add the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking power, and baking soda, and stir to combine.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until soft and fluffy, around 5 minutes. Add the eggs, one at time, mixing until fully incorporated. Slowly stir in the vanilla and food coloring. Add the dry ingredients in batches, mixing until just combined.
- Scoop the batter into the 13x9 inch pan and press down with a spatula to spread evenly into the pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool completely.
- While the cookie bars cool, add the butter and cream cheese to a large mixing bowl and beat until combined and fluffy, around 5 minutes. Add the powdered sugar in batches and beat gently until combined. Add the vanilla, then beat for an additional 3 minutes. Frost the cookie bars, cut, and enjoy.
