Description
Thick, chewy, and soft sugar cookie bars, perfect for busy schedules and family gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- Optional: sprinkles or chocolate chips for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Cream the softened butter with the granulated and brown sugars until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time and the vanilla extract, mixing until incorporated.
- Combine the baking soda, baking powder, salt, and flour in a separate bowl. Gradually add to wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Spread the dough evenly in the prepared pan, and add chocolate chips or sprinkles if desired. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until edges are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice into squares or rectangles.
Notes
Don’t overmix the dough to keep the bars soft. Store in an airtight container for 3-5 days or freeze for longer storage.
