Vegan Sugar Cookie Bars - but make it festive

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 8x8 baking dish or line it with parchment paper and set it aside. Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Whisk in the plant-based milk and vanilla extract. Once combined, add in the remaining cookie ingredients and stir once more until just combined. Pour the batter into your greased baking dish and use your (wet) hands or a spatula to flatten evenly. Bake for 23-25 minutes or until the center is just set and the edges are brown. It will look slightly underdone! Let the cookie bars cool completely before frosting. I let mine chill overnight in the fridge and frosted them the next day!
