All the yumminess of a soft sugar cookie with half of the work!
Make as big or small as you like, and be creative with the decorating!
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 13×18 (half sheet pan) and set aside.
In a large bowl combine flour, salt and baking soda with a whisk and set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each egg. Add vanilla & mix well. Add dry ingredients to wet mixture and mix just until combined.
Bake for 10-15 min (on center rack), until light golden brown or until a toothpick comes out clean.
For frosting combine butter and shortening until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla and salt.
Add powdered sugar in 1-2 cup increments until combined, then add milk and food coloring. Mix until smooth and spreading consistency.
Cut into squares as big or small as you like and serve.

These were really tasty, I doubled the vanilla in the cookie and frosting, I also needed more icing sugar in the frosting, it was too thin, the baking time is off though, my 9 in ch pan took 14 minutes and the 9×13 took 21 minutes, check it before letting cool, my 9 inch pan cut into 16 squares, very good way to make lots of cookies in a short period of time.

I made these today. We are having people over for Memorial Day. I spent all morning cooking for this and wanted something that would be easy to make and everyone would like. These are great! Already a big hit with my son and husband… I am sure the company will like them too. I will use this recipe again, thank you for posting it.

These are pretty good. My family gave them two thumbs up. Next time I might add a little more vanilla extract tot he cookie dough for a little stronger vanilla flavor. I will make these again for sure.

These are amazing, especially the frosting. I will be making them over and over again.

These were to die for. So easy, no rolling. These reminded me a lot of the cookies made by Cheryl’s Cookies.

I have made these twice in the past week and have received rave reviews! I had to cook them a little longer than called for, but that may just be my oven. The first time I didn’t have enough frosting, so I doubled the frosting recipe the second time and it was just right. Delicious and fun to decorate!
