Tip: Since this recipe uses a sum stick of butter (and a fiddling extra), I used the the butter left on former butter wrapper to grease the pan (just rub the newspaper butter-side inward the pan) together with and hence my dusting wand to flour it. No mess, no waste, no greasy hands! See!

My thoughts:

For this recipe, I tweaked my family's sugar cookie recipe to brand saccharide cookie squares.  I dear making saccharide cookies but I don't receive got the existent estate inward my refrigerator for a huge batch of cookie dough correct right away together with I am certain my mom is making or hence this week. So for a fiddling process to tide us over, I idea I'd brand these bar cookies. So much easier together with quicker than traditional rolled out saccharide cookies but amongst all of the flavor.They are softer than the regular saccharide cookies I've made inward the past times due to the thickness but receive got a lovely, slightly chewy texture vs a brittle snap.

I picked upwardly or hence of the classic (well, I think seeing it inward the stores at inward the '80s every bit a pocket-sized fry hence that is classic plenty for me) Betty Crocker Hollyberry Sprinkles at Aldi on my final shop. These are the long dark-green sprinkles amongst ruby ball sprinkles together with come upwardly inward a circular plastic tub (I found like ones on Amazon if y'all can't discovery them inward the store), not the Betty Crocker shaped holly berries together with leaves decorating decors. You desire to purpose actual sprinkles (i.e. jimmies) non deco pieces for the best results. Any colored sprinkles would work, of course, I but used the holly berry ones because it is almost Christmas together with they expect festive.
