Cake Batter Cookie Bars Recipe

Ingredients

1

                        roll (16.5 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Sugar Cookie Dough

6

oz cream cheese, softened (from 8-oz package)

1

cup yellow cake mix (from 15.25-oz box)

1

teaspoon vanilla

1

bottle (1.75 oz) rainbow sprinkles (about 1/3 cup)

2

cups powdered sugar

1

to 2 teaspoons milk

Preparation

Heat oven to 350°F. Let dough stand at room temperature 10 minutes to soften. Spray 9-inch square pan with cooking spray.

In large bowl, break up cookie dough. Add 3 oz of the cream cheese, cake mix, 1/2 teaspoon of the vanilla and 1/4 cup of the candy sprinkles; stir until well blended. Press dough into pan.

Bake 28 to 32 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely, about 1 hour.

Meanwhile, in medium bowl, beat remaining 3 oz cream cheese, the powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon milk and remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Beat in up to 1 additional teaspoons milk if necessary to make spreadable. Spread evenly over cooled bars. Sprinkle with remaining candy sprinkles. Cut into 4 rows by 4 rows.
