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!!!

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!

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. 🙂

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!

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?

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.

Jaimie — Sat, 17 Dec 2022 05:24:17 +0000

Can you tell me if it would be possible to make them into a 3 layer 8 or 9inch cake? What would be the quantities?

In reply to Allison.

Hi Allison! My concern would be that they would spread too much. 🙁

I’ve made these once before, they are amazing! Would I be able to make these in cookie form instead of bar?

I’ve made these twice now. I used cake flour both times. Not sure why, I just wanted to I guess. The first time I used peppermint extract instead of vanilla. The second time I used almond extract. Both were amazing. This will be my go to cookie bar from now on. I love the texture and the chew. Thank you!!

Hi Sara! Unfortunately I do not have a chocolate version, but I can add it to my list of things to make. 🙂

In reply to Dina.

Hi Dina! Have you tried cooking them at the proper temperature? We know convection ovens sometimes need to be dropped 25 degrees, but it sounds like 325 just isn’t cooking them properly. They may need a few minutes less at that temperature, so keep an eye on them. Hope that helps! 😊

Sam, love all your recipes!!! I’ve mage the sugar cookie bars twice, and each time the middle seems not quite done. Even though my toothpick comes out clean and the edges are lightly browned. I do have a convection oven, so I adjust the oven temp to 325F. Any suggestions?

You could use a little bit of extra flour. 🙂
