Ingredients:
Cookies:
- 1/2 cup salted butter, softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 and 1/2 Tbsp. sour cream
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 and 1/2 cups bread flour (or all-purpose flour is fine)
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- Orange and yellow food coloring
Frosting:
- 4 cups confectioner's sugar
- 1/2 cup salted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup half & half
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract {I used clear vanilla, so the frosting would be more white, but any kind works}
- A pinch of salt
Directions:
- FOR THE COOKIES: Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add egg and combine well.
- Add sour cream and vanilla and mix until completely blended.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and stir until well combined.
- Separate the dough into two equal parts and color one half of the parts orange and the other part yellow.
- Press the yellow batter into the greased baking dish and spread out to the edges with your hands. {If you butter your hands, this will help with the stickiness. Also, it may seem like it's not going to cover the bottom of the pan, but don't worry, it will.}
- Spread the orange batter over the yellow batter evenly. {I found it was easier to roll the orange dough out a little with a rolling pin before putting it on the yellow batter.}
- After it's all spread out and ready to go, bake it for 17-20 minutes, or until edges become lightly golden.
- Set aside to cool completely.
- FOR THE FROSTING: In a medium bowl, cream powdered sugar, butter and half and half until light and fluffy.
- Stir in vanilla and salt and combine well.
- Frost your cooled cookie bars evenly.
- Cut into triangles and serve.
