Ingredients

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, break up cookie dough. Stir or knead in 2 tablespoons candy sprinkles until well blended. Press evenly in 13x9-inch pan.
  • 2
    Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until set and edges are golden brown. Cool completely in pan on cooling rack, about 1 hour.
  • 3
    In medium bowl, beat butter, powdered sugar, milk and almond extract with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add additional milk, 1/2 teaspoon at a time until desired spreading consistency. Spread evenly over cooled bars. Sprinkle with additional candy sprinkles. Cut into 8 rows by 4 rows.

  • Customize this Christmas sugar cookie bar recipe for any occasion by using other colors of sprinkles.
  • Not a fan of almond flavoring? Substitute 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract for the almond extract.
  • Short on time? Make and bake cookie bars a day ahead, then cover and store at room temperature once cooled completely. The next day, make and spread frosting on top of bar, and store covered in refrigerator.
