Sugar Cookie Bars

"My family loves frosted sugar cookies, but they are very time consuming to make. I have tried various sugar cookie bars recipes, but none of them tasted just right. So I made my own recipe. After many changes and revisions, here is the perfect recipe."

I'm the person that all my family and friends call if they need a recipe. I'm a great cook, but don't get that much cooking in because of the way my husband and I have chosen to eat/live. We eat mainly raw and lightly steamed vegetables,fruit in season, grilled fish, grilled chicken breasts, ground white meat turkey and occasionally 3 oz. of lean beef or pork. We cut out almost all dairy and white sugar and flour. Not only have I lost 101 pounds but my husbands cholesteral has lowered 75 points. We plan on living forever. Good Luck-Huh? But, since I am a foody, I get my cooking/recipe fix by reading recipes on this site. I love it.
