Instructions
For Sugar Cookie Bars:
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl, stir butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Stir in egg, vanilla and almond extract and whip until fluffy. Scrape the sides and stir again briefly.

Spread dough into prepared pan and press down evenly. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from oven and cool completely.
For Frosting:
- Stir all ingredients together until smooth and fluffy. Start by adding 3 tablespoons milk and work up from there until frosting is the desired consistency.
- Spread over cooled cookie bars and add sprinkles if desired. Cut into bars and serve.
