Halloween Sugar Cookie Bars are soft and chewy sugar cookie bars filled with sprinkles and topped with buttercream frosting!
I also have Halloween Confetti Cookies if you need another Halloween idea!
I love sugar cookie anything. Regular sugar cookies, Sugar Cookie Dip, Sugar Cookie Truffles, and sugar cookie bars like these!
They are soft, chewy bars with a vanilla buttercream. Plus there are sprinkles inside the bars and on top because sprinkles make everything better.
And just to dogshame my jerk husky, she definitely ate the first round of these bars. She’s fine, don’t worry, but ugh, I had used such cute sprinkles!
Huskies are the worst. I was just telling someone a few weeks ago that she’s finally calmed down and stopped acting like an idiot all the time and she goes and eats a pan of butter and sugar.
How to Make Halloween Sugar Cookie Bars
Sugar cookie bars are so much easier than making a bunch of sugar cookies. You start by making a very simple sugar cookie dough and when the dough is all combined, you add Halloween sprinkles (or whatever sprinkles you like!) to the dough.
Then, instead of making individual cookies, you spread the sugar cookie dough out into a 9×13-inch pan. That goes into the oven and bakes until the center is cooked and the edges are just starting to brown. Then it just has to cool completely before you can frost it.
The frosting is a basic buttercream made with butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. It gets whipped together until light and fluffy and then you can spread it on top of the sugar cookies bars. Then top with more of your sprinkles!
