Sugar Cookie Bars

Mom used to treat a bad day by giving me a sugar cookie. but I am far to lazy to mix them let them chill for three hours, roll them out, cut them, bake them, and frost them. Its like a whole day process.

These don't take nearly that kind of time! And they taste Exactly the same!
A perfect TV snack
