These Easy Halloween Sugar Cookie Bars are soft, buttery, and topped with festive Halloween sprinkles, making them perfect for parties or cozy celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup Halloween sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix—it can make the bars tough.
  6. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, pressing into the corners.
  7. Sprinkle a generous layer of Halloween sprinkles over the top, pressing them lightly into the dough.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Notes

Let the bars cool completely before slicing to ensure they hold their shape. For a festive twist, add food coloring to the dough or mix sprinkles into the batter.
