Sugar Cookie Bars

This recipe came from my sis-in-law Mindee. These are so good! I love sugar cookies, but don't always feel like dealing with the mess of mixing, rolling, cutting, {flour everywhere}... with these you don't have that, but still get a delicious soft sugar cookie. Best of both worlds kind of cookie!

1 c. butter, room temp
2 c. sugar
4 eggs
2 t. vanilla
5 c. flour
1 t. salt
1/2 t. baking soda

Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well. Add flour, salt and soda and mix well. Spread on a greased 13x18 cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes, until light brown or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely. Frost.

Frosting
1/2 c. butter, room temp

1/2 c. shortening

1 t. vanilla

4 c. powdered sugar

I also like Cream Cheese Frosting on these;
1/2 c. butter, room temp
4 oz. cream cheese
1 t. vanilla
2 c. powdered sugar

Bet ya can't eat just one! Enjoy!
