Instructions
  1. DIRECTIONS FOR COOKIE BARS:
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  3. Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  4. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, thoroughly cream butter, oil, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until combined.
  5. Add egg, water, and vanilla and mix until well combined.
  6. Next, add the flour, sprinkles, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix for approx. 1 minute or until completely combined.
  7. Spread/press the cookie mixture evenly into the greased 9x13 pan. (I like to use a sandwich baggie on my hand to press it down evenly. Spray baggie with cooking spray if necessary.)
  8. Evenly sprinkle 1 tbsp of sugar over the uncooked bars before placing them in the oven.
  9. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-17 minutes or until the edges are just barely turning a light brown. Do not overbake or the bars will be dry.
  10. Let cool completely.
  11. DIRECTIONS FOR FROSTING:
  12. Mix butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla with a hand mixer or whisk. Add in the milk and cream until nice and smooth. Frost bars when they are completely cooled.
  13. Immediately after frosting, sprinkle generously with rainbow sprinkles. Let the bars set for an hour or two before cutting.
  14. Serve and enjoy!
