Recipe Of The Week- Candy Corn Sugar Cookie Bars

I love candy corn! I found this recipe that the kids would love. You cut the bars in triangles and they look like candy corn! Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 Tbsp milk
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• orange and yellow food coloring
• cream cheese frosting

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lay parchment inside a 9x13-inch baking dish with the ends hanging out the 13-inch sides (so you can lift out the cookie after it's baked) and spray the 9-inch edges with pan spray since they aren't covered with parchment.
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Add egg, milk and vanilla. Mix well.
• In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients until combined.
• Split dough in half and color one half orange and one half yellow.
• Press the yellow cookie dough onto the bottom of the baking dish.
• Press orange cookie dough onto the yellow cookie dough layer.
• Bake for 17 to 20 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Cool completely.
• Pulling on both sides of the parchment paper, lift the cookie dough out of pan. Trim the crisp edges with a knife, if desired.
• After the cookie bar cools,frost with cream cheese frosting.
• Cut into triangle shaped bars to look like candy corn!

The kids (and grown ups too) are sure to love these cookie bars!
