Pop-Tart Sugar Cookie Bars

Print Recipe
Serves: 12-14 Cooking Time: 25-minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup white granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon butter extract (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • pinch of salt
  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
  • 4 Pop-Tarts (I used Frosted Confetti Cupcake flavor), broken into pieces

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 350-degrees. Line a 8-inch x 8-inch pan with foil and spray the bottom and sides of the pan with baking spray. Set aside.

2

In the bowl of a stand mixer, affixed with the paddle attachment, add the butter. Mix the butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add the sugar to butter and mix until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, into the mixer. Mix the first egg into the mixture completely before adding the second egg. Add the vanilla extract, butter extract, nutmeg and salt. Mix until combined.

3

Change the mixer to low speed and add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and cornstarch. Mix until just combined. Remove the bowl from the mixer and fold the sprinkles and Pop-Tarts into the batter.

4

Dump the dough out into prepared pan, in an even layer. Bake bars in 350-degree oven for 25-minutes. Remove bars from oven and allow bars to cool and set in the pan. Once bars are completely cool, cut into desired sized squares.

Notes

Store bars at room temperature in an air tight container. Bars stay fresh for several days when stored properly.

XOXO,

Kelly

    This is such a fun treat because I grew up eating Pop-Tarts on Saturday mornings! Now we pack them up in our hurricane kits each year but they always bring back the best memories. I can’t wait to surprise my family with these. They’re going to be so excited! Thanks for the recipe, CoCo

    Pop-tarts are one of my guilty pleasure foods. The brown sugar cinnamon? TO DIE FOR! I’m totally making these cookie bars next time I’m brave enough to bring a box of pop-tarts into the house :). (Usually I don’t because, you know, they’re dangerous, haha!). Have a great weekend, Kelly!

    Oh my goodness, these look so good. I didn’t grow up in a house where there were pop tarts either and I didn’t buy them much for my children either, but my youngest son went through a phase where he loved them so much that he bought them for himself. I’ll have to bake some of these up for him for a treat!
