When I was young, my mom made really, really, yummy and soft sugar cookies. I lloved to help her cut them out and frost them. I was suprised to learn that my boys don't share quite the love for sugar cooking making. What they like is to slap on the frosting (usually way too much), devour the cookie, repeat 2-3 times and then run outside or move on to something else. Once they've had their fill, they have no interest in frosting any more cookies. And to be honest, making sugar cookies takes a lot of time. So here is a recipe for sugar cookie bars where you get the same great taste without having to refrigerate the dough, no cutting out cookies, and everything is baked and frosted at once.
2/3 cup soft butter
2/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Cream the butter and sugar together, and then add the egg and vanilla. Add the other ingredients and mix. Press dough evenly into the bottom of a cake pan. You can line the pan with waxed paper if you desire. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
