Easter Sugar Cookie bars are some of my favorite treats when it comes to Easter desserts. They are delicious, easy, and they disappear in a flash. If you’re looking to make an impression this Easter, check out these easy Easter Sugar Cookie Bars.
The Easter Sugar Cookie Bar Recipe
It all got started this weekend when I was roaming through Pinterest and I came across this amazing frosted sugar cookie bar recipe from The Baker Upstairs. They looked really good, but I wanted to change them up a bit for Easter.
With the help of my little one, we made a few modifications to take these amazing sugar cookie bars to the next level.
How to Make Easter Sugar Cookie Bars
To make these sugar cookie bars you will need to have a few ingredients on hand.
- egg
- egg white
- cup of sugar
- flour
- butter (melted)
- sour cream
- vanilla
- almond extract
- baking powder
- salt
- Ghiradelli white chocolate chips
- 1 bag of M&Ms
- Sprinkles
Steps to make Sugar Cookie Bars
Heat your oven to 375 and line a 9 x 13 dish with foil, and coat with a non-stick cooking spray.
Add the butter and sugar to a mixer and stir until creamy.
Mix egg, egg white, sour cream, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Mix well.
Add in flour, salt and baking powder and mix well.
Add in white chocolate chips and mix well.
Pour mixture onto 9 x 13 dish and smooth out. Cover the top with M&Ms and Sprinkles, then bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes.
Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack for 1 hour. Cut into bars and serve.
How to Store Sugar Cookie Bars
Store the sugar cookie bars in an airtight container and keep in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight. If you need to, place them in the refrigerator.
This has to be one of the most awesome recipes EVER!! I am honestly surprised I was able to keep enough of these Easter Sugar Cookie Bars around to take pictures of.
This is such a fun recipe, and the kids all like to help when it comes to adding the chocolate, M&Ms, and Sprinkles. Enjoy!

April 5, 2014 at 11:42I have seen sugar cookie bar recipes but haven’t made them because their frosting was an important part of the recipe. Your version eliminates the frosting and adds deliciousness to the batter instead! That makes these great care package goodies! Thanks!

April 14, 2014 at 10:26Did you add m&m’s to the mixture too? It looks like they are in the bars…not just on top.
Jennifer says
April 14, 2014 at 11:03I DID add them into the mixture. In the picture you can see some of them cracked from the heat. If you don’t want them in the mixture and just on top. I would add them carefully right after pulling them from the oven.

November 14, 2014 at 01:00These are so awesome! I would use Robin eggs instead of m&n’s
Theresa says

Jennifer says
March 30, 2018 at 13:31Of course! Just store them in an airtight container so they maintain freshness.
