Sugar Cookie Bars
These Sugar Cookie Bars are delightful! One of my complaints with regular sugar cookies is that they can be bland and dry. Neither one is a problem here. The cookie bars are beautifully soft and chewy, and have the perfect vanilla sweetness.
But let’s be real here. The real kicker in this recipe is the Strawberry Frosting. I love this frosting; I’ve used it a lot! But that’s only because I think it’s amazing! And it’s really easy: Chef Shamy Strawberry Honey Butter is mixed with powdered sugar and heavy cream. That’s it. The Strawberry Honey Butter adds an amazing, fruity flavor, and the heavy cream makes the frosting incredibly fluffy and light!
Strawberry Unicorn
So, Strawberry makes sense? Unicorn? What’s that about?
It’s really just a fun thing with the sprinkles. The pink frosting with the multicolored little sprinkles are great fun to look at, and makes it a cute little treat. Embrace it. Embrace the unicorn!!
Enjoy!
