SERVINGS
1 8"x8" pan
1 package Krusteaz® Butter Vanilla Sugar Cookie Mix
1 Large egg
½ cup Unsalted butter, softened
FROSTING
1 (14 oz) Tub Store bought whipped cream cheese frosting (OR 6 oz cream cheese, softened, Lite okay)
¼ Cup (½ stick) Unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 Cups Powdered sugar
½ tsp Vanilla extract
½ tsp Salt, or to taste
2 drops Red food coloring, or as necessary for desired color
3-4 tbsp Valentine’s Day themed sprinkles
STEP 1

Bars – Heat oven to 350F, line an 8×8-inch pan with aluminum foil for easier cleanup, spray with cooking spray; set aside.

STEP 2

To a large bowl add all the cookie mix, egg, butter, and mix with a handheld electric mixer until combined; dough takes a couple minutes to come together.

STEP 3

Turn dough out into prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula as necessary.

STEP 4

Bake for about 24 to 26 minutes, or until center is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Allow bars to cool completely in pan on a wire rack before frosting.

STEP 5

Frosting – To a large bowl, add the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, salt, and beat with a handheld electric mixer until smooth.

STEP 6

As desired, add the red food coloring. I was going for a pale pink and added 2 drops. Add slowly and mix well after each drop or two.

STEP 7

Turn frosting out over the bars and evenly sprinkle with sprinkles before serving. Bars will keep airtight at room temp for up to 4 days or in the fridge for up to 1 week. I am comfortable storing frosted items at room temp but if you’re not, store in the fridge.
