Mint Chocolate Chip Sugar Cookie Bars

Servings 16 bars

Ingredients
  

for the sugar cookie bars:

  • 2 & 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla

for the mint chocolate chip frosting:

  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 2 & 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 & 1/2 teaspoons peppermint extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 4-5 drops green food coloring
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

for the sugar cookie bars:

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Grease an 8x8 pan with non-stick cooking spray
  • In a large bowl sift together flour, salt, and baking soda.
  • Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each egg. Mix in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix just until combined.
  • Spread into prepared baking dish.
  • Bake for 10-15 min, until light golden brown or until a toothpick comes out clean
  • Cool completely.

for the mint chocolate chip frosting:

  • While the cookie bars are cooling, make the frosting -
  • Cream the butter. Beat in the sugar and peppermint extract. Add the milk (add more sugar or milk to get desired consistency, I made it exactly as written.) Add drops of green food coloring until you get your desired color of green. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Frost cookie bars. Cut into squares.

Notes

The frosting made the way it is written is not a thick frosting (it wouldn't stand up on cupcakes) If you'd prefer a thick frosting, you will need to add more powdered sugar.
