Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup colorful sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually mix in the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Gently fold in the sprinkles to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.
  2. Shape and Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Press the cookie dough evenly into the pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  3. Cool and Slice: Remove the pan from the oven and let the cookie bars cool completely in the pan to set. Once cooled, lift the bars out using the parchment paper and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into squares or bars of your preferred size. Serve and enjoy your festive Christmas Cookie Bars!

Notes

  • For an extra festive touch, drizzle melted white chocolate over the bars once cooled.
  • Store the cookie bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • You can substitute sprinkles with holiday-themed colored sugar or chopped nuts for variation.
