Some of my most popular recipes on this blog are Halloween recipes! Like my Frankenstein Cupcakes! Make sure you check out all my Halloween Recipes! But on to these Candy Corn Sugar Cookie Bars!

Ingredients
Sugar Cookie Bars
- 1 cup butter unsalted room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg room temperature
- 1 egg yolk room temperature
- 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 tsp. almond extract
- 3 cups flour all purpose
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- yellow food dye
- orange food dye or yellow and red combined
Frosting
- 3/4 cup butter unsalted room temperature
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2-3 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a 9X13 inch casserole dish with parchment paper and lightly grease the sides of the pan. (I use parchment paper to easily lift my cookie bars out after they have cooled.)
-
Using a stand mixer, beat butter and sugar for 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
-
Add egg, egg yolk, vanilla and almond extract. Mix again. (To get room temperature eggs fast, place eggs in a bowl of warm-hot water for a few minutes.)
-
In a separate bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
-
Slowly add in dry ingredients to wet and mix only until combined. Take out half of the mixture and dye one half yellow and one half orange. Press the yellow sough into the prepared pan and then press the orange mixture on top of it. See my notes below for tips.
-
Bake for 18-22 minutes. The edges will just barely start to turn golden but it’s a little tricky to tell when it’s dyed, then take them out and place the pan on a cooking rack!
-
FROSTING: Beat butter, vanilla and 2 cups powdered sugar. Continue to add powdered sugar until you like the sweetness level, the frosting should still be soft enough to easily spread on your bars with a knife. If it gets too thick, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of milk!
-
Once your bars have cooled, lift up on the parchment paper to remove the entire thing from the pan. Frost and then cut into bars! You can cut into triangles like candy corn or leave as squares!
Recipe Notes
I dyed my entire dough yellow, then removed half and added drops of red to the remaining to make it orange. One less dirty bowl!
To layer the two colors into the pan, it works best if you take pieces of dough and flatten them in your hands first. Then lay them into the pan and piece them together!

How is the timekeeping Good billige bvlgari ure but not great. Basically just what you would expect from a stock 6R15 movement. In preparing for this post I did a couple days of time checks and my example loses about 4-5 seconds a day dial-up but tends to become somewhat more erratic on the wrist -3 one day +7 the next maybe more. Please note that I did not use any legit accuracy testing equipment and that my results are anecdotal.
In stark contrast to the dainty and fanciful Jupiter we find the worn black-plated repliki zegarki case of an “Army” brand field watch that is hanging on to its strap with a single long-suffering spring bar. The velcro strap proudly reads “Sport Watch” in a manner similar to how that one uncle likes to tell you about how good he was at football. You know before “the knee.”
