Funfetti Cake Batter Cookie Bars




Ingredients

cake batter cookie bars
  • 1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) sugar cookie mix
  • 1 box (15.75 oz) white cake mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles


frosting
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2-4 tablespoons milk (I use 4 tablespoons heavy cream)
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • additional sprinkles for garnish


Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper. Set aside. 
  2. In large mixing bowl, combine the dry sugar cookie mix, dry cake mix, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Beat with a handheld blender until combined. About 1 minute. 
  3. Add in the sprinkles and very gently (so the colors don't bleed) stir in the sprinkles using a wooden spoon or spatula. 
  4. Dump the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread out evenly. It helps if you drop it all over the baking dish, instead of just one big pile. Use your hands to help spread it out. 
  5. Cook for 30-32 minutes. Edges will be golden brown and the center will look done and slightly puffy. Let cool compeltely, about 1 hour. 
  6. To make frosting : Use a handheld blender and beat the butter in a mixing bowl until creamy. Add in the powdered sugar, almond extract, and start with 1 tablespoon milk. Blend together and add additional milk until you get a spreadable consistency. They higher fat milk you use, the more you may need. If you use skim or 1% milk you will need less of it. 
  7. Spread the frosting over the cooled cookie bars. Sprinkle some additional sprinkles over top the frosting. Cut into bars right away and serve or they can be refrigerated (if wanted) or left at room temperature, until you serve them.

Peanut Butter Pretzels

Set aside. Place white chocolate chips in a glass or ceramic bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Add 1/3 cup peanut butter to the bowl and microwave for an additional 30 seconds. Stir until smooth. Drop 1 mini pretzel at a time into peanut butter mixture. Turn to coat. You can dip using a fork, but I prefer using a Wilton Dipping Tool. Makes it even easier! Tap fork on the side of the bowl to help excess drip off. Transfer coated pretzel to parchment lined pan. Repeat process with remaining pretzels. Let cool on pan until set. Place semi-sweet chocolate chips in a sandwich sized bag. Microwave for 1 minute. Cut a corner of the bag and drizzle melted chocolate on pretzels. Let cool to set.(...
