Ingredients
  

For the Sugar Cookie Bars
  • 2.5 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 tsp Cornstarch
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 0.5 tsp Salt
  • 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter softened to room temperature
  • 1.25 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Large Egg at room temperature
  • 0.25 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
For the Pink Buttercream Frosting
  • 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter softened
  • 2.5 cups Powdered Sugar sifted
  • 2-3 tbsp Milk or Heavy Cream
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 3-4 drops Pink Gel Food Coloring
  • 0.25 cup Sprinkles optional

Equipment

  • 1 9x13 inch Baking Pan
  • 1 Stand Mixer or Hand Mixer
  • 2 Mixing Bowls

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix on medium speed until well combined.
  5. Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the bars cool completely in the pan.
  8. To make the frosting, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until fluffy. Add the vanilla and 2 tablespoons of milk, mixing until smooth. Add more milk if needed for desired consistency. Stir in pink food coloring.
  9. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled bars and top with sprinkles. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

Do Not Overbake: For the softest, chewiest bars, remove them from the oven as soon as the edges are lightly golden. They will set up as they cool.
Cool Completely: Ensure the bars are 100% cool before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
