simply delicious

so, being that i was going to have some company this weekend i wanted to be the good little hostess and have some treats upon their arrival... now, as you might already know, i am a sucker for cupcakes, and i usually bake them up, but i was feeling a little rebellious and wanted to change it up a bit... i had seen this recipe on a fellow blogger's site, and they immediately appealed to me...
they seemed simple yet perfectly delicious... and i knew i had to make them... who doesn't love sugary buttery cookies, and bonus! slathered in awesome cream cheese frosting... hard to resist right?!

sugar cookie bars:

1 cup butter; room temperature
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
5 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda

directions:

1. cream butter and sugar until fluffy
2. add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each egg, then add vanilla & mix well
3. in a separate bowl combine flour, salt & soda & stir with a whisk to combine
4.add to wet mixture and mix just until combined, then spread on a greased baking sheet (use a 13 x 18 pan).
5. bake at 375 degrees for 10-15 min, until light golden brown or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely and frost.

they really were delicious... easy to make and even easier to eat :-)

happy baking everyone!

  3. Well now, those look divine! And really easy too... once the Thanksgiving-y pie season is over I may have to bake some for my family. Hm.
