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

Yield: Makes 12-16

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.)

    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.

  2. Nancy Barry says:

    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!

  3. Karen Robey says:

  5. Lauren says:

    Thank you for this recipe. I just made them and they are AWESOME!!!

    I gave one to my boyfriend who is always skeptical of my cooking and even HE approved! Your recipes are like the only blog recipes he will actually eat. Ha! 🙂

  6. Ashley says:

    Can I just say….Wow! Your stove top is so clean! How do you manage that? Also, I was curious what you use to caclulate the nutrition facts on your recipes.

  7. Sandra says:

  9. Kara says:

    I preordered a while ago and would love to try the so delicious whipped topping!

    These look so good. My son can’t have any of the flours in this recipe though. He can have white and brown rice, tapioca & quoina flour. Can anyone recommend how to use any of these to replace any of the suggested flours? He would be over the moon to have a real cookie!!! Thanks!
