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 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 🙂
These are right up my alley! I love sugar cookies, especially frosted ones!!
Hi Katie! Was wondering what kind of sugar you use for your recipes… Regular granulated or can I use organic pure cane?
Your book is on my xmas wishlist, I hope I get it from the hubby! 🙂
You can definitely use organic! It can be used whenever non-organic sugar is called for in a recipe.
I preordered I can’t wait! Btw I brought the deep dish cookie pie to a party and it was a hit.
Thank you so much for making it!
These look so wonderful, Katie! And HOW have I missed that frosting recipe… must make ASAP! 😀

These are so cute! Caught my eye right away. Thanks for sharing this new product – can’t wait to try!
Pre ordered my copy already! Can’t wait 🙂
And these look amazing.
Just made these, following the recipe to a T.
BOY are they GOOD!
Katie, could you make a recipe for Healthy Gingerbread Men with Healthy Icing to decorate them with? I’ve been looking for a healthy gingerbread men recipe with a lot less butter and sugar. Thanks! 🙂
Hi there,
I made these bars last night and they turned out AWESOME! I ate my portion with just a little bit of raw honey on top and I completely loved it. Thanks for the recipe Katie!
Thank you so much for making them!
That purple frosting looks cute! Did you use artificial color for that one? Also, is it the tofu-cashew version? It looks so good!
I actually made the recipe over a year ago! If I remember correctly, it was colored with blueberries.
Hi Katie:)
We can only buy So Delicious through the Real Candian Superstore or through Spud.ca. and even then, we don’t get ALL the products the US does.
Canada needs to be Veganized!!!!
Was it hard to publish a book? I have one coming up, too.
Katie, I love your recipes. My son and his family are vegan(I am pretty close to that also) so I am always looking for treats for my grandson(and the rest of us). This looks yummy. I’m thinking a scoop of your favorite So Delicious ice cream might also be tasty. Also using brown sugar might give it a blondie kind of flavor if you want a little different flair. I am ordering your cook book for my daughter-in-law(who loves to bake) and me(who loves being a Nana). You are awesome!
