I’m embarrassed to admit this, but I’ve never made sugar cookies before. And they just happen to be my favorite kind of cookie. You know those Lofthouse sugar cookies with the thick layer of frosting on top? I live for those. I hardly ever buy those because I usually end up devouring them all one my own, no sharing with the hubster allowed.

My Aunt is also a great baker, and she makes her famous sugar cookies once or twice a year. When those make an appearance, I feel like I end up in a sugar cookie coma, as I just can’t resist the sweet taste and soft texture.

Although I know that whipping up a batch of sugar cookies is fairly easy, the thought of rolling out the dough and trying to make them perfectly round stresses me out a bit.

And like most of my recipes, these Vanilla Sugar Cookie Bars are a breeze to whip up. The batter is made in one bowl and the dough is spread out into a baking pan. Remember, no chilling or rolling out the dough is required.

Once the bars are baked and cooled, feel free to pile on as much of the decadent frosting as you would like. But trust me when I say the more, the better! And I won’t tell if you sneak a spoonful (or three) of the frosting to “test” it out. The BAILEYS™ Coffee Creamer Frosted Vanilla Cookie makes the frosting irresistibly delicious! I just had to make my frosting purple, since it’s my favorite color. But feel free to color the frosting however you would like.

So the next time you’re in the mood for sugar cookies, but don’t feel like going through all of the prep work, try out these easy and oh-so delicious Vanilla Sugar Cookie Bars instead! Soft, chewy, and packed with flavor, these bars will be your new favorite dessert!
