Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 2 cups crushed sugar cookies store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup butter softened, adds richness and helps bind the bars
  • 1.5 cups powdered sugar for sweetness and smooth texture
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract enhances flavor
  • 2 cups cookie crumbs for added texture
Toppings
  • colored sprinkles or toppings for decoration and a festive touch

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line an 8x8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a bit of an overhang for easy removal later.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed sugar cookies, softened butter, and powdered sugar. Use a spatula to mix until fully combined and creamy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Add the vanilla extract to the mixture, stirring until evenly incorporated.
  4. Fold in the cookie crumbs gently using a spatula, ensuring the mixture remains fluffy without deflating it.
  5. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, using the spatula to smooth the top down evenly.
  6. Sprinkle your favorite toppings generously over the top.
Chilling
  1. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until fully set.
Serving
  1. Once chilled, remove the bars from the dish using the parchment paper overhang.
  2. Cut into squares or festive shapes, and enjoy this decadent treat!
