Sometimes dishing out cookie dough gets old fast. Pressing your dough into bars is quick and easy, and these sugar cookie bars are wonderful!

Ingredients
- 1 cup butter room temperature
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest optional
Frosting:
- 6 tablespoons butter room temperature
- 6 ounces cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 teaspoon almond extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- Food Coloring if desired
Instructions
- Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each egg. Add vanilla and almond extract and mix well. In a separate bowl combine flour, salt, baking powder and stir with a whisk to combine. Add to wet mixture and mix just until combined. Spread on a greased baking sheet or parchment lined sheet (use a 13 x 18 pan). Bake at 375 degrees for 12-15 min, until light golden brown or until a toothpick comes out clean (they won't look done so do the toothpick test). Cool completely and frost.
For the frosting:
- Combine butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla, almond extract, and salt. Add powdered sugar in 1-2 cup increments until combined, then add milk if needed. Spread over cooled cookie bars.
