Instructions

First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8 inch square pan with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, add the melted butter and sugar. Stir until creamy and frothy.

Then, add in the vanilla and egg. Stir to combine.

Add in the gluten free flour, milk, and sea salt. Stir until a sugar cookie dough forms.

Press this mixture into an even layer in the lined pan.

Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are very lightly golden and the middle still looks soft.

Remove from the oven. Once fully cooled, add frosting and sprinkles. Cut into squares and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Room Temperature Ingredients 🌡️
Bring butter and eggs to room temperature before mixing to ensure smooth incorporation and a more tender, evenly-textured bar with better rise and crumb structure.
Don't Overmix the Dough 🥄
Mix just until combined after adding flour to avoid developing gluten, which creates tough, dense bars instead of the soft, buttery texture you're aiming for.
Even Thickness Matters 📏
Press the dough evenly into the baking pan using an offset spatula or the bottom of a measuring cup to ensure uniform baking and consistent texture across all bars.
Cool Completely Before Frosting ❄️
Allow bars to cool to room temperature before applying frosting to prevent it from melting and sliding off, and for cleaner, more professional-looking presentation.
Sea Salt Enhancement 🧂
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of the frosting before the sprinkles to create a sweet-salty contrast that amplifies the vanilla flavor and adds sophistication.
