Share:
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter (softened)
- 2 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 2 cups + 2 Tablespoons sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 3/4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 3/4 cup butter (softened)
- 8 ounce cream cheese (softened)
- 4 - 4 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1-2 Tablespoons heavy cream or whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (or 1/2 teaspoon almond extract)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, whip together butter, cream cheese, and sugar for 4 minutes or until light and fluffy.
- Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and whip for 1 minute longer.
- Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix just until combined. Press sugar cookie dough into a 9 x 13 baking pan (I use an aluminum pan). You may use parchment paper on the bottom of the pan for easy removal.
- Bake for 24-28 minutes. Watch carefully because you want them to be slightly underdone as they will firm up as they cool. Set aside to cool.
Cream Cheese Frosting:
- In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and cream cheese for 2-3 minutes. Add powdered sugar, cream, and vanilla extract and whip for 2-3 more minutes. Fold in food coloring, if using.
- Spread over cooled sugar cookie bars. Cut into squares and serve.
