Our Frosted Peppermint Sugar Cookie Bars are bound to be the highlight of the table. A soft and flaky sugar cookie bar topped with a rich and creamy peppermint frosting.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 13x9x1 baking sheet with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Add in the eggs, both vanilla and almond extracts; mix until combined.
In a smaller bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until a dough is formed.
Press the dough onto the baking sheet and bake for 15-17 minutes, until a light brown color is formed around the crust. Cool completely before frosting.
Frosting Instructions
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and powdered sugar. Once combined add in the extracts and 2 tbsp of the heavy cream.
Mix until creamy, if the frosting is too thick then keep adding heavy cream 1 tbsp at a time until the desired consistency is reached. Spread the frosting over the bars and top with the crushed peppermint.
