The quickest, easiest, chewiest, sugar cookies bars ever!!! 

Bars are definitely one of my favorite desserts.  They are one of the easiest dessert you can make.  I mean we love sugar cookie but sometimes there just isn’t time in the day for mixing and chilling and rolling and cutting.

These sugar cookies are made a cinch to make in so much less time than it would take for your regular cut out sugar cookies. 

You can make these for any occasion and decorate them as you wish. We made these with a Valentine’s Day theme but you can use any color frosting or sprinkle so they are the perfect bar for any time of year. 

These bars have a really nice chewy texture to them. They are not dry or crumbley.  Maybe that’s why we love them so much. We are definitely a chewy family. And then put some yummy frosting on top… oh boy!!

This recipe for Sugar Cookie Bars is super simple.  We added sprinkle to the bars for this recipe but, you can leave them plain or add some mini chocolate chips if you like. The options are really up to you.
