Holiday Sugar Cookie Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting

Sugar cookies are such a classic holiday treat but sometimes around the holidays I'm so busy I don't even have time to bake cookies. Bars are faster and easier than cookies, there's no dough to chill, and no need to form individual cookies. Just press the dough into a pan and bake. 

The bars are buttery soft in the middle with a bit of chewiness around the edges and have nice texture from the baked-in sprinkles. After baking I frosted the bars with cream cheese frosting and you can use storebought to save time.


Sugar cookies in bar form with SPRINKLES baked in and on top!! So much faster than making cookies and a great holiday baking SHORTCUT!!

Buttermilk Pancakes

A very light and fluffy pancake that requires fresh buttermilk, but it's the best I've ever made! Buttermilk Pancakes Yield: 12 - 5 inch pancakes Ingredients: 3 cups all-purpose flour 3 tablespoons white sugar 3 teaspoons baking powder 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 3/4 teaspoon salt 3 cups buttermilk 1/2 cup milk 3 eggs 1/3 cup butter, melted Directions: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat together buttermilk, milk, eggs and melted butter. Keep the two mixtures separate until you are ready to cook. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. You can flick water across the surface and if it beads up and sizzles, it's ready! Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, using a wooden spoon or fork to blend. Stir until it's just blended together. Do not over stir! Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/2 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.
