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.)

I love the idea of sugar cookie bars instead of the cookies. I love the texture of bars so much more!
Those are so cute and colorful they almost look like cartoons!
Yum! These look like the sugar cookies you get at Target. I love them. I like the purple frosting too.
OMG, must try this soon…
can you make it with almond flour?
damn this looks tasty, cant wait to try 😀 making your crustless chocolate pumpkin pie today! oh and also, this is more in response to yesterdays post about cookies but i think a new gingerbread cookie recipe could be cool!!
I love the looks of these, and they sound soo tasty!
The frosting reminded me of parma violets, in a way – pretty! x
Hi Katie!
God Bless You for Spreading the Divine Vegan word! Just ordered your new CCK as a Gift. Will So Deicious l be Delivering the New Coco Whip to Canadian book pre- orders, as well?
Love your site!
I’m not sure if they deliver to Canada. Do they sell their products in Canadian grocery stores? If not, then sadly this one is probably US only.
I think I’m probably the only one….but I think the iPhone photos look SO much more delicious than the ‘shopped ones! Although the purple frosting is very enticing despite the fact that I don’t use food coloring ever….
The only problem is, I can’t see these making up to 16 bars. For me, at the most, it’d be like 9….and I’d still eat two at once!
I love sugar cookie bars…I love these even more since they’re healthier! I looked at your homemade sprinkles, too…you’re so talented 🙂
