Here are a few of my favorites I have tried over the years:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Extracts:<\/strong> Extracts are a great way to change the flavor of these sugar cookie bars. In this recipe, I use my favorite, a combination of vanilla extract and almond. A few other extracts that you can try: lemon, orange, coconut, maple etc. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Zest:<\/strong> If you want these to have a citrus flavor (lime, lemon or orange!), adding some fresh zest will make the flavor pop. You can also add the zest to the icing if you really want them to have a ton of citrus flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Icing:<\/strong> I used a classic whipped cream cheese frosting. However, regular buttercream are also always delicious on top of these bars. My homemade <a href=\"https:\/\/thenovicechefblog.com\/chocolate-buttercream-frosting\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow\">Easy Chocolate Buttercream Frosting<\/a> would also be delicious on top. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Toppings:<\/strong> There are endless topping ideas! My kids love when I top mine with sprinkles, crushed candy canes or even m&amp;m&#8217;s! <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"Frosted Sugar Cookie Bars are just as tasty as traditional sugar cookies, but with half the work!
