I’m 17 and this recipe is super easy and has opened the gateway for me to baking. I make these cookies every once in a while for my TPUSA group. Thank you for this recipe!

Yummy and perfect! I love how soft and chewy these are. I used salted butter in the icing which was so good. Next time, I want to try adding a little almond extract with the vanilla.

Hi Sam, I’m planning to make these but cut into small squares and decorate them like dice, for my first Bunco night. Could I use your Christmas cookie frosting on these bars? I need the icing to harden for table snacks. Thanks!

I’ve made these a few times and they are always a hit. I call them the Lazy Cook’s Sugar Cookies. I don’t like to bake cookies, but I love to eat and share them.
Thanks for the great recipes. I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve made from your site, as well as your videos.

Typically I make candy at Christmas but to cut the sugar down a bit I’m going to make 3 different bar cookies and 2 different regular cookies! All your recipes!
Your sugar cookie bar recipe was requested by at least 6 family members! I think they will be delighted to see the variety!!
Thank you and Merry Christmas!!!

In reply to Lily. Hi Lily! You could stir sprinkles into the batter if you'd like. :)

Do you think I can skip the frosting and add sprinkles to the batter to make funfetti sugar cookie bars? Thank you for all the great recipes!

In reply to Amy. Hi Amy! I'm so sorry for the confusion. Use the weight measurement here and I will update the recipe to change the cup measurement. Thank you for catching that. :)

By: Amy

Delicious! I gave 4 stars only because the flour measurement confuses me – 285g is quite a bit less than 2.5 cups, both in my measurements and in various references I looked at for the weight of AP flour. Do you use the cup or weight measurement? Thanks!

In reply to Bre. Hi Bre! They will be fine out of refrigeration for about 2 days.

Do these need to be refrigerated with the cream cheese in them and the frosting?

In reply to Cathryn P.. Hi Cathryn! I'm glad everyone enjoys them! These were always made in a 9 x 13 even before updating though. :)

Hello Sam,

I’ve made these for church functions and everybody loves them? I always make your updated recipe of July 2022 in a 9×13 pan. However, I noticed in your January 2022 version you recommend a sheet pan 12×18. Why did you switch pan sizes?

Omg these taste awesome made these for Christmas. My family engulfed the cookies. So I had to make a second batch for Christmas because they ate all of them. I would just make them for summer. Great recipe all I have is good reviews about it.

In reply to Jaimie. Hi Jaimie! That could be quite tricky and super rich. If you split the batter in half you could make 2 layers in an 8 or 9 inch pan. They would be the same thickness as what is pictured.
