| From my files - saved with this recipe so I could see what they look like, but it's not my picture. |
These are perfect for an Easter get-together - so cute!
- You can see the idea is to choose 3-4 colors and pipe lines down your baked and cooled cookie bars.
- Cover with clear plastic wrap.
- Press them very gently through the plastic to join them at the edges.
- Remove the plastic.
- Using a skewer, knife or other item, drag lines through the frosting from top to bottom.
- Cover with plastic again.
- Using your finger, draw down the scored lines to blend the edges again, blurring the lines and giving it a tye-dyed effect.
I hope the instructions make sense to my daughter or anyone else that may stop in to use some of the idea's and recipes on my site-collection. You can use them on any bar cookie, but the simple sugar cookie style recipe is below the photos as it's a basic and easy recipe to use.
Sugar Cookie Bars
1 c butter
2 c sugar
2 t vanilla
4 eggs

1 t salt

In a large mixing bowl cream butter, sugar, and vanilla until fluffy and smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well between each addition. Sift dry ingredients together and add to sugar mixture in small amounts. Mix batter until all flour is incorporated. Press into a 9X13 or 11X17" pan. Bake in 375 degree oven for 10-12 minutes.
Frosting
