Notes
Recipe adapted from my Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars recipe.
Can they be made dairy free? YES! Make dairy free sugar cookie bars by substituting equal parts coconut oil and applesauce for the butter OR simply using vegetable shortening. This will make for a softer cookie bar, but they’re still delicious.
Substitutions: If you don’t like sprinkles (for shame!), feel free to skip them and have a plain ‘ol sugar cookie bar. Nothing wrong with that!
Storage: Store these cookie bars on a plate with plastic wrap over it or in their original baking dish, covered, for a few days.
