how to store leftover cookie bars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Store the bar cookies in an air tight container at room temperature for 2 to 3 days OR in the refrigerator for 5 days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I prefer to keep the cookies in the refrigerator so the frosting sets well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

tools you'll need <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You'll need an 8 x 8 inch baking pan<\/a><\/strong>. For even heating, I suggest a metal pan<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also suggest lining your baking pan with parchment paper<\/a><\/strong>. You can easily remove the bar cookies by lifting the paper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to color the frosting, I like gel paste food coloring. Here, I used Electric Pink<\/a><\/strong>. You need only a drop or two. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may also want to top with sprinkles<\/strong> of your choice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

tips for making sugar cookie bars <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • We recommend using an oven thermometer to make sure your oven is at the right temperature. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • We also recommend weighing ingredients with a digital scale. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • For soft cookies, do not overbake! The cookies are ready when the top is very lightly browned. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • An off-set spatula is handy for spreading frosting. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • I always use salted butter, although most bakers prefer unsalted. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
