Instructions
Cookie Bars
- Preheat the oven to 375.
- Line a 9x9 inch pan with parchment - set aside.
- In the mixer bowl, cream together the butter & sugar until fluffy.
- Add in the egg & egg white, sour cream, vanilla & almond extracts & mix well.
- Slowly stir in flour, cinnamon, baking powder & salt & mix until it is a crumbly dough.
- Press dough into a flat, even layer in the prepared pan.
- Use a fork to poke holes in the top so that it bakes evenly.
- Bake 17-20 minutes or until browned.
- Cool completely before adding the frosting.
Cinnamon/sugar mixture
- Combine cinnamon & sugar in a small bowl & whisk to combine.
- Set aside until ready to decorate the bars.
Cream Cheese Frosting
- Combine the butter & cream cheese in the mixer bowl & beat well.
- Add in the vanilla & then confectioners sugar & beat until creamy.
- Spread frosting in an even layer & sprinkle with a little cinnamon/sugar mixture.
- Keep refrigerated until serving.
- *Note- I found it easier to cut the bars first & then frost each one to keep the cuts cleaner.
