Irresistible Red Velvet Cookie Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, light or dark
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
  • 1/2 teaspoon vinegar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 ounce full-fat cream cheese
  • 2 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cream

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. Cream Butter & Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

4. Add Eggs & Flavorings: Beat in the egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract, red food coloring, and vinegar until fully combined.

5. Combine Wet & Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.

6. Bake: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is slightly soft. Let cool completely in the pan.

7. Make Frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and salt gradually. Add cream as needed to reach the desired spreading consistency.

8. Frost & Serve: Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cookie bars. Slice into squares and serve. Enjoy!

Notes

Be sure to use room temperature butter and cream cheese for the best texture.

Don’t overmix the batter, as this can lead to tough, dense bars.

Keep a close eye on the bars during baking to prevent overbaking.

Store the cooled, frosted bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Feel free to add in chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or other mix-ins to customize the recipe.
