I had printed out the recipe from One Ordinary Day when I first saw them there and had every intention of making them but one of the Twins' teachers had something else in mind when she requested a treat for her class. So they were pushed to the side for another day. After seeing these pop up and raved about on two more awesome blogs I couldn't put them off any longer.
I'm not crazy about sugar cookies but I am crazy about these. They really are all they are hyped to be. Blondies and Snickerdoodle ones are still my favorite but these are an excellent alternative.
I was worried that they might be overly sweet so I cut back on the sugar (about a 1/4 cup) but after tasting the bars I think next time add the full amount. I topped my bars with cream cheese frosting and sprinkles but had intended to frost only half of the pan with it and the other half with Em's Buttercream Dream Icing. I didn't softened enough sticks of butter, grrrr, so I was forced to frost the whole thing with the cream cheese frosting. The recipe is from Simply Recipes and is the one I used to top my red velvet cupcakes.

Oooohhhh. Your sugar cookie bars look awesome! You definitely have to submit one of those great pics to foodgawker or tastespotting.
My son's requested them again for his Easter party at school tomorrow, so you know what I'll be doing in the morning. :)

These remind me so much of blondies. And I prefer a blondie over a brownie anytime.

I've been seeing these around a lot, and have coveted them. Your pictures and good review make me want them even more!
So, I'm definitely going to have to try these now. They've made the rounds and the consensus has been "delicious" on everyone's blogs! I love that you topped these with cream cheese frosting. How delicious! I can't wait to make these.
Hi Ingrid! Your pics are great. I've seen these bars several places in the blogosphere too and now that you've recommended them, I'm going to definitely put them on my "to make" list! Have a great rest of the week!
I Love those sprinkles Ingrid :) I guess these awesome cookie bars are perfect for parties!
Ingrid, you inspired me to make snickerdoodle muffins. I made them yesterday and they didn't turn out so well. It must have been the recipe I used. I'm definitely making the cookie soon!
Mmmm, I love sugar cookies, I bet they are SO good in bar form!

They are perfect for the coming holiday. Spring, a season for gatherings and fun.
What a fun recipe, and so colorful with those sprinkles too. :)

I have had sugar cookie bar recipes printed for weeks - I need to make them. Yours look so lovely!!
Those look good!
These look super yummy!!!
Ingrid, those truly look fabulous. And I love the softer more pastel shade of the sprinkles, perfect for the time of year. I've seen these on a couple of blogs, but your certainly look the best.
Must. Make. Sugar. Cookie. Bars. Pronto.
You are the queen of all things cakey and bar cookie/cakey! Those look amazing, Ingrid. I made the Snickerdoodle blondies, along with peanut butter cup brownies, and one of my own, a peanut butter cheesecake swirl brownie. I have loads of photos, but just haven't gotten around to posting about my brownie/blondie weekend..lol
BTW, 'bout time we finally got some good pitching two days in a row!
gosh, they are so pretty! I love the pastel colors! so spring!
although frosting half with buttercream would've been good, i would be completely satisfied with all cream cheese frosting all the time. :)
so colorful and pretty!
Ahh I've seen these all over the blogosphere too! And I also was afraid they'd be too sweet, so I never made them. But I trust you, and I'm adding them to my "To-Bake" list! :D
