Growing up, my sister and I weren't allowed to have a lot of sweets or junk food. When we would go to our friends' houses, we would eat all of the junk food we could get our hands on. One of my favorites was those soft sugar cookies with frosting. They were we a bomb of sweetness and I loved every. single. bite. These funfetti cookie dough bars are my ode to those deliciously sweet cookies!
