Sugar cookie bars

Start by preheating your oven to 375F.

In a large bowl mix your butter, cream cheese, sugar and powder sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in your eggs one at a time and vanilla and mix again.

Once your wet ingredients are combined slowly add in your dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt) and mix until incorporated.

Add your batter to a lined 8x8 baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes.

Allow to cool completely before icing with the buttercream. To make the buttercream, cream together the 1/2 cup soft butter, 1 1/2 cups powder sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, and 2 tbsp milk until smooth and fluffy.
