Sugar Cookie Bars
Am I the only person who randomly craves vanilla cake? But a slice of vanilla cake isn't really a snack or easily accessible so then I decide what I really wanted was some sort of combo between a sugar cookie and vanilla cake where it's easy to hold and won't fall apart but tastes just like cake. Well... if you are special like me and crave this unique item..look no further! Sugar cookie bars are the ultimate combo between cake and cookie. They are dense, chewy and covered in frosting. This recipe definitely makes alot of frosting but I just wanted to accomodate my frosting freaks out there. Feel free to put as much or as little frosting as you wish. Judge free zone. A note on frosting making: Add add much or as little heavy cream as you desire when it comes to your preferred consistency. Have fun with it!
