Now, a tip, once you make these outrageously delicious cookie bars, be sure to save the recipe. But once hot, glass retains heat for such a long time it can actully result in uneven baking. And because glass is an insulator, it’s actually slow to heat. And the truth is, yes, it does. Aluminum is a very good heat conductor, which means baked goods will brown evenly. Glass bakeware, in comparison, is both heavier than aluminum and more expensive. Many people ask if the material of the baking pan matters or not when baking something like a cookie bar. Topped with a pale pink frosting, festive heart shaped sprinkles and you have the perfect treat for your someone special. This fool-proof recipe channels everything there is to love about a wonderful sugar cookie but brings them to you in the form of a bar cookie. I have modified the Times recipe slightly, but the original one can be seen here. But in all honesty, I was a fan from day one. This recipe is from The New York Times, who actually adapted these heavenly cookies from “ American Girl Cookies“. These frosted sugar cookie bars are just delightful, but I did not invent them. I decorated these bars to the max with pink and white sprinkles in honor of Valentine’s Day, but these bars are what I like to call, “ holiday adaptable“. With a dense, yet incredibly soft center, and a fluffy whipped frosting, these bars are truly addictive. I am all about a soft pillowy cookie, so it is no surprise that I had to make ( and can’t seem to stop making), these frosted sugar cookie bars. By Andrea Potischman | Updated on February 8, 2023
