    Title: Blooper Friday! Sugar Cookie Bar Semi-Fail
    Categories: Cookies, Snacks, Desserts
    Yield: 12 Servings

    1 c Unsalted butter; room temp
    2 c Sugar
    4 lg Eggs
    1 tb Vanilla
    5 c Flour
    1 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Baking soda
    1 c M&M candies

    The thing about sugar cookie bars is that they are
    impossible to fail. We ran out of time, melted a plastic
    container, used the wrong pan, and didn't fully cook
    them and they were STILL delicious. So unlike other
    Blooper Fridays, we are actually going to show you this
    recipe.

    We first saw the cookie bars at Recipe Girl, complete
    with beautiful, colorful pictures and knew we had to
    make them. She adapted the recipe from The Repressed
    Pastry Chef, to make her own version (<-- that's where
    you can find the full recipe and see what these are
    supposed to look like). We adapted it a little from
    hers.

    Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

    Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each. Add
    vanilla.

    In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking
    soda. Add to wet ingredients.

    Add M&Ms, and mix until ingredients look like delicious
    cookie dough.

    Put dough on a jelly roll 13" x 18" baking sheet.

    Here is the first step we did incorrectly (FAIL! #1).
    Apparently, you are supposed to put the dough on a jelly
    roll baking pan, NOT a 9" X 13" cake pan. I thought 13"
    X 18" was a typo in the original recipe, but no, you want
    these to be thin.

    Bake at 375+|F/190+|C for 10-15 minutes. The dough will be
    light golden, and a toothpick in the middle will come
    clean.

    If you bake these in a 13" X 9" pan, they take a lot
    longer and still may not be fully baked.

    Allow to cool completely before icing.

    We cut them up because we wanted them to cool faster. As
    we saw they were not fully cooked. (FAIL! #2)

    After it took over 30 minutes to bake these extra thick
    bars, we decided to just go with a jar of icing (no home
    made icing = FAIL! #3).

    We happened to have 1/2 of one left in the fridge. So,
    we thought it would warm up a little quicker if we put
    the jar above the oven. Oh, it definitely warmed up!

    Luckily, the melted plastic did not actually get in the
    icing so we were able to use it. At this point, we were
    already running late for a party, so we are glad it
    worked out.

    However, they weren't exactly the prettiest sugar cookie
    bars.

    They were goopy, melty, and messy - but they were still
    delicious. We will definitely be making them again,
    hopefully without all the drama and mess.
