Cook Time 25 minutes
Servings 16

Ingredients

  • 1 cup salted butter softened
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups chopped Hershey's Candy Cane KISSES divided

Frosting

  • 1/2 cup salted butter
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with foil, then spray foil lightly with non-stick spray. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until combined and creamy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until just combined.
  • In a separate, medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture until just combined. Stir in one cup of the chopped candy cane KISSES.
  • Press dough evenly into the pan. Bake 25 to 28 minutes, or until edges are light golden-brown. Cool completely before frosting.

Frosting

  • In a medium bowl, beat together butter, 2 cups of powdered sugar and milk until combined. Slowly add in the remaining two cups of powdered sugar until combined. Add the vanilla. Beat until creamy and no lumps remain.
  • Frost sugar cookie bars. Sprinkle the remaining chopped candy cane KISSES evenly over frosting. Cut into bars and serve. Enjoy!
