Valentine Cookie Bars

Here I am late to the game again. I did do a little bit of baking this weekend and I thought for sure you would love to make a little something for Valentines Day! I have to say these Valentine Cookie Bars are easy and so yummy! They are dense and chewy but have that crunch in them from the candies! I love them!

So I dont have to tell you that working full time again has definitely put a damper in my blogging adventures. I love going to work and the social aspect of it, but I miss being at home all day and working at my own pace.  You all have different aspects to your life too so I try to make these recipes easy because that is how I bake and cook.

On to these yummy bars. Here are a few of my favorite baking supplies!

  • 9″x13″ Cookie Sheet
  • Valentine Sprinkles
  • Chocolate Sprinkles
  • Red Food Coloring

I use red food color for the pink frosting in this recipe because I feel like its more economical than buying pink food color and red food color. You can achieve a petty pink icing using the red food color. Plus its easier to find red food color in your local grocery store than pink. Right? I love  the mix of a bit of chocolate with the Valentine Sprinkles I just think it looks cute! You can never have too many sprinkles in my opinion!

My co-workers love it when I bake. This will make a nice batch of Valentine Cookie Bars. I usually take all the left overs to work because with it just being hubby and me I have thrown A LOT of goodies in the trash. These Valentine Cookie Bars do not belong in the trash!

This recipe is easy and delicious!

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 TSP vanilla
  • 2 1/2 C flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 C of red m&m’s (I picked out the red ones specifically but you can use the Valentine mix)
  • Frosting Ingredients:

  • 3 C powdered sugar
  • 2-3 TBSP heavy whipping cream
  • 1 TSP vanilla
  • 1-2 drops of light pink food coloring
  • Valentine’s day sprinkles
  • Chocolate sprinkles

Instructions

Spray 9"x13" cookie sheet with baking spray and set aside.

In mixer Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, I let it mix for 4-5 minutes. Add in eggs one at a time and combine until fully incorporated add in vanilla.

Mix the flour,salt and baking soda together in a separate bowl. Add to butter egg mixture one large spoonful at a time and mix until all ingredients are combined. Fold in candies.Spread on a prepared cookie sheet.

Bake at 375 degrees for 10-15 min or until toothpick comes out clean.(Do not overbake!)Remove from oven and let cool completely.

While cookie bar cools start on the frosting!

Beat the butter on medium speed until smooth.Add in the powdered sugar and mix on low speed at first, then increase to medium speed until mixture starts to come together.

Add in the vanilla extract then the heavy cream one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is achieved.(I like mine a creamy spreadable consistency), add red food color one drop at a time until the desired color is reached. Mix for another minute or two until color is fully incorporated in frosting.

Once pan of cookie bars are completely cooled frost the cookie bars covering the entire surface of the cookie.

Top with sprinkles, cut into bars and enjoy!!

I love this Lemonade Ice Box Cake it is so easy to I love this Lemonade Ice Box Cake it is so easy to make, refreshing and oh so delicious!! I bet you even have everything it takes to make this in your pantry!! 😁HERE'S THE RECIPE!!😀 **********LEMONADE ICE BOX CAKE⁣***********
3/4 cup frozen lemonade(thawed)
1 can sweetened Condensed Milk
2 cartons frozen whipped topping (1 thawed, 1 for topping/garnish)
2-3 sleeves Graham Crackers
In a large bowl, add the sweetened condensed milk and whipped topping. Fold the two together gently until combined, being careful to keep the mixture light and fluffy. Add the lemonade concentrate and continue to gently fold. Do not add too much lemonade that the mixture becomes loose.
Line a 9"x7" pan with one layer of graham crackers, breaking if needed to fit. Spoon 1/2 lemonade mixture over top of graham crackers. Spread evenly over crackers, top with second layer of graham crackers. Spoon remaining lemonade mixture over top of second layer of graham crackers and spread evenly. Top with 3rd layer of graham crackers. 
Cover with plastic wrap and store in refrigerator for at least 24 hours before serving. Top with whipped topping and garnish as desired. Serve and enjoy. This can be frozen for up to a month. (I like it better frozen!)
