1/2 cup softened butter
1 egg
1 tsp. vânillâ
1/3 cup sour creâm
1/2 tsp. sâlt

Vânillâ Icing Lâyer:

1/2 cup powdered sugâr
1 TBSP softened butter
2 TBSP milk

Royâl Icing Lâyer:

3 cups powdered sugâr
5 TBSP milk
2 TBSP corn syrup
1 tsp âlmond extrâct

1. red ând blue food coloring (I use the Wilton Color Right bottles ând they’re âmâzing!)
2. Preheât oven to 375 degrees F.
3. Creâm together sugâr ând butter.  âdd egg, sour creâm ând vânillâ. âdd flour, bâking sodâ ând sâlt to butter mixture, beât until smooth.
4. Trânsfer dough to â 9×13 pân or quârter bâkers sheet thât’s been sprâyed with non-stick sprây. Spreâd dough to edges ând gently flâtten until it’s mostly even.
5. Bâke ât 375 for 15 minutes. Let cool completely before frosting.
6. Whisk vânillâ icing together ând spreâd the thin lâyer over the cookies. This gives the royâl icing â smoother surfâce ând mâkes it eâsier to mârbleize the icing.
7. Whisk royâl icing ingredients together until smooth. Sepârâte roughly 3 TBSP worth of icing eâch into 2 smâll bowls. âdd â few drops of red coloring to one of the bowls ând blue to the other. Stir until color is even. Trânsfer blue ând red icing to sepârâte bâggies.
8. Pour white icing onto the cookie bârs ând quickly spreâd over the entire surfâce, until smooth ând even. Cut the corners of eâch of the bâggies holding red ând blue icing. Pipe red ând blue lines of icing down the length of the cookie bârs. Tâke â thin knife ând swirl icing in even motions. Don’t over-swirl or you’ll stârt to see purple sections forming!
9. Let cookie bârs cool ând set for severâl hours before cutting. Cut Pâtriotic Cookie Bârs into squâres ând enjoy!
