Ingredients

Bars
  • one package Krusteaz Snickerdoodle Cookie Mix
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons cinnamon or to taste
  • 1 Krusteaz Cinnamon-and-Sugar packet
Frosting
  • one 14-ounce tub store bought whipped cream cheese frosting
  • OR
  • 6 ounces cream cheese softened (lite okay)
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups confectioners’ sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • about 3 to 4 tablespoons red green, and white holiday sprinkles

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Bars – Heat oven to 350F, line an 8×8-inch pan with aluminum foil for easier cleanup, spray with cooking spray; set aside.
  2. To a large bowl add all the cookie mix, egg, butter, cinnamon, and mix with a handheld electric mixer until combined; dough is dense and stiff.
  3. Turn dough out into prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula as necessary.
  4. Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-and-sugar over the top and bake for about 23 to 25 minutes, or until center is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Allow bars to cool completely in pan on a wire rack before frosting.
  5. Frosting – To a large bowl, add the cream cheese, butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla, salt, and beat with a handheld electric mixer until smooth.
  6. Turn frosting out over the bars and evenly sprinkle with sprinkles before serving. Bars will keep airtight at room temp for up to 4 days or in the fridge for up to 1 week. I am comfortable storing frosted items at room temp but if you're not, store in the fridge.
