Jeff invited some of his friends for dinner yesterday and because I was so focused on getting the ribs etc ready I completely forgot something for dessert. Enter the sugar cookie bar...all the goodness of a sugar cookie with NONE of the hassle! Woohoo!
The texture of this cookie is very similar to a Granny B's Pink Cookie. Very rich and yummy. I didn't have any cream cheese in the fridge so the frosting is just regular frosting but it was a good balance of frosting to cookie. I ate way more than my share. *sigh* So.Good.
Sugar Cookie Bars
Servings: 32
1 c. butter, softened
2 c. sugar
4 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract (the good stuff)
5 c. flour
1 tsp salt (slightly less if using salted butter)
1/2 tsp baking soda
In mixer cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each egg. Mix in vanilla.
In a separate bowl mix together flour, salt and soda. Add to wet mixture and mix just until combined. Spread on a greased baking sheet. (I sprayed my hands with PAM and pressed it out with my fingers)
Bake at 375 15-20 min or until light golden brown or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Frost with your favorite frosting!

I am a lover of this way easier recipe too! Only how can I make it less crumbly? Thanks for the compliment about my yummy cookies. Mom's still kick my butt.
I'm thinking adding 1/2 c. sour cream would make them less crumbly. I'll try that the next time.
I tried these and they tasted fine, but came out a little bit thick and lumpy on top. I added an extra egg to make it a bit more moist, but maybe that was not a good thing! My kids liked them!
