Soft frosted sugar cookie bars…
Made from scratch, and iced with my secretly healthy frosting recipe.
These bars are nothing short of holiday magic!
No eggs and no butter are needed for the bars, which can be refined-flour-free as well. They’re like eating a homemade frosted sugar cookie… but even better!

Sugar Cookie Bars
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups spelt flour or white flour (or Bob’s gf plus 1/4 tsp xanthan gum) (130g)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp plus 1/8 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup sugar or xylitol
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons milk of choice
- 1/2 cup coconut oil or vegetable oil
- optional, homemade sprinkles
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 F, grease an 8×8 pan, and set aside. In a mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients and mix very well. In a separate bowl, whisk together the vanilla and milk and oil. (If using coconut oil, it’s always a good idea to gently heat your milk to room temperature first.) Pour dry into wet and mix again. Transfer to the prepared pan, and smooth out. Bake 13 minutes. They will look very underdone when you take them out, but that’s okay! Just let them cool for at least 10 minutes before touching. If desired, frost with your favorite frosting. (The frosting recipe I used is linked under the first photo in this post.)

Oh my gosh! I LOVE sugar cookies this time of year… thanks for a new way to enjoy my addiction 😀
I made a batch of these last night and was planning to bring them to an office holiday lunch today, but they were so good that I ended up eating a few too many last night and had to make a second batch! At least they aren’t difficult to make.
Thanks for the recipe. It’s keeper!
Sorry that wasn’t supposed to be a reply to someone. I fail at the internet. 😕
Did you make Katie’s frosting or did you do something else?
Oh my kids would love these! They look incredible and so much healthier than regular old sugar cookies!
I’m a total sucker for frosting but those bars actually look better to be unfrosted! Man I love sugar cookies!
Dude, I totally agree!
do previous pre-orders count? Already pre-ordered and can’t wait for it to come out! btw, these cookie bars look awesome!
Yes!
Hi Katie, I have a question. How come in the nutrition facts it no longer states the sugar amount? I found that helpful and would love to see it again if possible. 🙂
The bars are sugar-free if you use xylitol. Therefore the sugar amount is 0 grams. I would assume that is why it is not listed.
That’s so exciting to hear that So Delicious makes cool whip now! I can tolerate some dairy, but I love finding alternatives. These bars look delicious!
I preordered back when it first came out, does this still count?
haha same, im guessing it doesnt!
It definitely counts!! 🙂
yay 😀
AH I wish you had posted these sooner. I recently made some unhealthy sugar cookie bars for a bake sale, and they were a bit dry. I will definitely try these next time! They sound so delicious. Frosting just makes soft sugar cookies perfect.
Katie I ordered off Amazon already, how would I show you the receipt?
No need. I will choose randomly from the comments!
Ah, they look so yummy! Love Christmas food!
Pinned it! They are definitely delicious looking!
