Grinchmas Cookie Bars!

• 1 Cup unsalted sweet cream butter, softened
• 1 1/2 Cup of powder sugar
• 1 egg
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 2 1/2 Cups flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp cream of tarter
• 2 Cups unsalted sweet cream butter, softened
• 3 Cups powder sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 3 tbsp heavy whipping cream
• 3-5 drops of green food dye
• edible red heart icing transfers

First you preheat oven to 325 degrees. Tear off a sheet of parchment paper long enough to fit a 9×13 baking dish. In a standing mixer, combine butter, powder sugar, egg and vanilla and mix on medium speed until combined and fluffy.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and cream of tarter. Gradually add in the flour to the wet mixture and mix on low speed until combined.

Scoop dough into the baking dish and press down with your fingers. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Place onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Next you make the frosting. Using a standing mixer, combine all ingredients (except the food dye and heart transfers) and mix on medium speed until combined and stiff peaks.

Add in the food dye and mix until color is combined. Scoop the frosting onto the cooled cookie bars and frost. Place the bars into the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour for the frosting to harden

Use a sharp knife and cut into bars and place the hearts into the middle of the cookie bar.

That’s all you have to do to make these! Serve and enjoy!
