Ingredients

Bars

Frosting

  • 1/4 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Let cookie dough stand at room temperature 10 minutes to soften.
  • 2
    In large bowl, break up cookie dough. Add cocoa, food color and egg. Beat with electric mixer on medium speed 1 minute, scraping bowl frequently. Spread in bottom of ungreased 13x9-inch pan.
  • 3
    Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until center is set. Cool completely in pan on cooling rack, about 1 hour.
  • 4
    In 1-quart saucepan, mix flour and milk with whisk until smooth. Cook over medium heat 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture is very thick. Remove from heat; cool 10 minutes.
  • 5
    In large bowl, beat sugar and butter with electric mixer on medium speed 1 minute or until light and fluffy. Gradually add flour mixture by tablespoonfuls, beating on high speed until smooth. Beat in vanilla. Frost bars. Cut into 6 rows by 4 rows.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Using a whisk to make the frosting, cuts down on time to get the ingredients smooth. Using a silicon or silicon-coated whisk will prevent your pan from being scratched.
  • tip 2
    Sprinkle the top of the bars lightly with Christmas sprinkles before cutting them.
