Steps to make Frosted Sugar Cookie Bars:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13" baking pan with parchment paper, leaving enough of an overhang to easily luft out the finished bars. Set it aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt until thoroughly combined. Set it aside.
- Using either a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or a hand mixer, beat the butter on med-high speed until creamy, 1-2 minutes. Then beat in the sugar for 1 minute, until fluffy. Beat in the egg, egg yolk and vanilla extract until combined. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- On low speed, add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until just combined. The dough will be thick and sticky.
- Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to lightly brown. The center will still look very soft.
- Place the baking pan on a wire rack and let it cool completely. Once cool, lift out with the parchment paper and frost.
- For the frosting, in a medium bowl using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, beat the butter until creamy, 1-2 minutes. Then add the rest of the frosting ingredients and mix until combined. You can add more cream if you'd like a thinner frosting. Frost the cookie bars before slicing them. You can also decorate with sprinkles after frosting if you'd like to. Use a large, sharp knife to slice them.
- Store these in an airtight container for 3 or so days. Don't stack them, as the frosting will not harden and set much.
