Sugar Cookie Bars with Marshmallow Fluff Frosting

I have a sweet post for you today, Sugar Cookie Bars. Sometimes i'm just too lazy to make cookies. You know the drill...make the batter, fill up the cookie sheet, bake for 12 minutes, repeat. Over and over. Call me crazy, but sometimes I just want to put the pan in the oven, set the timer for 25 minutes and be done with it. And this is exactly the recipe for doing that.

These are delicious sugar cookie bars with an equally delicious marshmallow fluff frosting. I may never go back to traditional buttercream again. Marshmallow fluff frosting (with rainbow sprinkles!) is where it's at. And will probably be responsible for an extra pants size. Or two.

You can color the frosting whatever color your heart desires. These are the perfect take anywhere cookie bar!

Here are the recipes for both the bars and the frosting. I hope you enjoy and thanks for stopping by!

Marshmallow Fluff Frosting

• 1/2 cup butter room temp
• 1/2 cup Marshmallow Fluff
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1-2 Tbsp milk or water

1. Mix butter and Fluff until smooth on medium speed until smooth.
2. Slowly add in powdered sugar with mixer on low.
3. Add in milk and turn speed up to medium and mix until all combined and smooth.
4. Color frosting if desired. I typically use the Wilton gel color (bought at Michael's) because it doesn't dilute the frosting like liquid food coloring.
