Sugar Cookie Bar Pops

Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing after each. Add vanilla and mix well.

In a separate bowl combine the flour, salt and baking soda. Add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture, mixing just until combined. Spread the dough onto a greased sheet pan (I used a 9×12 pan ).

Bake at 375ºF for 10-15 minutes, until lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool completely. Using a cookie cutter or knife, cut out your desired shape. Insert a popsicle stick into the bottom of each bar.

In a microwaveable bowl, cook the candy melts/baking bar on low until they are melted. If desired, add some food coloring to make them festive! Spoon the melted candy coating over your cooled sugar cookie bar, then sprinkle with your decorations. Allow the candy coating to set. You can serve as is, or for something a little different, pop the sugar cookie pops into the freezer for about 1 hour. Now you have a frozen sugar cookie pops. Yum!
