Ingredients
For the Cookie Bars:
- 1 1/2 cups salted butter (softened) 12 ounces
- 2 cups granulated sugar 400 grams
- 4 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 teapsoon vanilla extract 5 grams
- 1 teaspoon almond extract 5 grams
- 5 cups all-purpose flour 650 grams
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 9 grams
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 3 grams
For the Frosting:
- 1 cup butter (softened) 8 ounces
- 4 cups powdered sugar 520 grams
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 8 grams
- 3-4 tablespoons heavy cream 45-60 grams
- food coloring and sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Make the Cookie Batter:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spray a 17x12 rimmed cookie sheet with non-stick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until creamy.
- Add in the eggs, vanilla and almond extracts, and then mix until well combined.
- In a small bowl, whisk the flour, salt and baking powder together. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix just until the dough is well combined. Do not overmix!
- Press the cookie dough evenly into the greased cookie sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes. (My oven took about 17 minutes. Try not to let the cookie bars brown. If the edges start to brown, remove from oven immediately.)
- Cool the bars on a wire rack.
Make the Frosting
- In a stand mixer bowl, with the mixer on medium speed, whip the butter for 2 minutes until it is almost white in color.
- Add in the powdered sugar, vanilla and 3 tablespoons milk.
- Beat on low speed for 3-5 minutes, adding in the last tablespoon of milk if the buttercream needs to be thinner.
- Add in food coloring if you'd like and mix well.
- Once the cookie bars are cool, frost the bars and decorate.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
