I am a sucker for anything with mint this time of year. I had to kind of hold back, I had 4 or 5 mint treats I wanted to make to share with you this year. Seemed a little like overkill, so I mixed it up. But no worries, those ideas will come another time! A few years ago I made sugar cookie bars for the first time. They are like a super thick sugar cookie, with no rolling or cutting of the dough. Super easy and so good! Since my family loves sugar cookies, I thought why not dress that recipe up for Christmas.
The key to making these peppermint sugar cookie bars irresistible, is to slightly under bake them. That is the key to most brownies and cookies, but here it makes a big difference. Because these bars are so dense, they can go from chewy and delicious to dry and crumbly very quickly. So best to error on the side of caution! I used a bag of the Andes Peppermint Crunch baking chips in these bars. For the topping I very finely chopped the white chocolate peppermint Hershey’ Kisses. But you could use more of the baking chips, crushed candy canes, or even just some festive sprinkles. No matter what you do, these bars will be amazing and sure to please your guests this holiday season.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a 13 x 9 in pan with foil. Spray with non-stick spray. In an electric mixer cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each egg. Stir in vanilla. In another bowl mix together the flour, salt, and baking soda. With the mixer on low, slowly add in the flour mixture, until just combined. Fold in the peppermint crunch baking chips. Spread the dough into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 10-15 minutes, a tester should come out clean. Allow to cool completely before frosting. To make the frosting cream the butter until fluffy. Add vanilla, milk, and ½ of the powdered sugar. Continue adding powdered sugar to get to the right consistency. You might have to adjust the milk or powdered sugar to make it spreadable. Spread over the cooled bars. Sprinkle the chopped candy cane kisses over the bars. 3.2.2925
