Notes
Store these in an airtight container for up to 3 days or in the fridge for 5 days.
You can add peppermint or almond flavor to the frosting if you like.
I use these mini holiday chips I find around the holidays but sprinkles work just as well.
You can add chocolate chips or white chocolate chips to the dough if you like.
These are rich but you can cut the bars as large or small as you like.
