    In small microwavable bowl, microwave white vanilla baking chips uncovered on High 30 to 60 seconds or until chips can be stirred smooth. Spoon melted chips into small resealable food-storage plastic bag; partially seal bag. Cut off tiny corner of bag; squeeze to pipe over top of bar. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Cut into 6 rows by 4 rows.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    The secret for cutting bars easily is to line the pan with heavy-duty or nonstick foil. When it is time to cut the bars, just lift the baked bar with the foil out of the pan, and cut. This also makes cleanup extra easy.
  • tip 2
    Customize this cookie bar recipe for any holiday by using different colors of the candies and sprinkles.
  • tip 3
    Short on time? Use a fork to drizzle melted white vanilla baking chips over the top of these red, white and blue cookie bars.
