Sugar Cookie Bars





I made this for a quick dessert one evening when we had friends over and it was delicious and it's now a requested item here.  The bars taste just like a sugar cookie but is so much easier (and less messy) to make.  It could also be served with a small side of berries to garnish the top, or sprinkles.

Sugar Cookie Bars


Crust:


1 box white cake mix, dry, not prepared
8 TBS melted butter
1 egg

Topping:


8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
16 oz powdered sugar


1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine cake mix, butter and egg in a bowl and beat until smooth.
3. Press dough down evenly into a 13x9 greased baking pan.
4. In a separate bowl combine cream cheese, eggs and powdered sugar and beat well.
5. Pour over crust and spread to corners.
6. Bake for about 25-30 minutes at 350.  It will look slightly under-baked-you don't want to overbake it.  The top will still have the consistency of frosting.
7. Remove and let cool and garnish as desire.

  2. OMGosh! Those look amazing! One of my favorite desserts is fruit pizza where I make the crust out of sugar cookies then frost with a cream cheese frosting and top with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and kiwi. I'll try making this one for sure!
