YUMMY SUGAR COOKIE BARS!

Here is a very simple recipe for sugar cookie bars and they are very good.  I think I am going to make them with pink frosting and valentine sprinkles for Valentines day.  My kids always like to have a treat on a special day.  I hope you enjoy!

4. With mixer on low, add in your dry ingredients: flour, baking powder and baking soda.
5. Mix until just combined.
6. Press dough evenly into your prepared pan. (dough will be sticky)
7. Bake for 20 minutes until edges begin to golden, I do a little less because I like them very soft.
