Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, add vegan butter and sugar. Cream together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add almond milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Cream together once more to combine.

Add all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Fold together until evenly combined.

Transfer dough to the baking dish. Using clean hands or a spatula, press across the bottom of the dish in an even layer.

Sugar Cookie Bars with Strawberry frosting, Red Vines, and sprinkles

Bake sugar cookie bars for 22-25 minutes, until the top and edges are light golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool completely inside the pan.

Once the sugar cookie bars have cooled, gently lift the parchment paper to remove them from the pan. Add a thick layer of strawberry frosting. Decorate with chopped Strawberry Licorice Twists and sprinkles.

Slice into squares and enjoy!
