Gingerbread bars are so much FASTER AND EASIER than making gingerbread cookies!! The sprinkles and tangy cream cheese frosting will put everyone in a festive mood!!
about 3 to 4 tablespoons redgreen, and white holiday sprinkles
Instructions
Make the Bars:
Heat oven to 350F, line an 8×8-inch pan with aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray; set aside.
To a large bowl add all ingredients and mix with a handheld electric mixer until combined.
Turn dough out into prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula as necessary. Bake for about 25 to 28 minutes, or until center is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Allow bars to cool completely in pan on a wire rack before frosting.
Make the Frosting:
To a large bowl, add the cream cheese, butter, and beat with a handheld electric mixer until smooth.
Add confectioners’ sugar, vanilla, salt, and beat to incorporate and until frosting is smooth.
Spread frosting evenly over bars. Top with sprinkles before slicing and serving.
Notes
*Frosting: You may also use one 14-ounce tub store-bought whipped cream cheese frosting instead of making the frosting homemade. For the full recipe, visit Krusteaz.
