FROSTED YOGURT SUGAR COOKIE BARS by NancyC
Makes a 10 x 15″ pan

1 cup plain or vanilla yogurt (goat milk yogurt or Greek yogurt work well)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 cups unbleached flour

YOGURT FROSTING:
5 cups powdered sugar
6 Tablespoons plain or vanilla yogurt

Preheat oven to 350˚ F. Line a 10 x 15″ baking pan with parchment paper; set aside.

In small bowl, mix plain yogurt and baking soda; set aside.

In large bowl, beat butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and mix well. Blend in the cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla, and then add the yogurt mixture from the small bowl. Gradually add in flour, a cup at a time, beating well after each addition.

Spread cookie dough evenly into the lined 10 x 15″ pan. Bake at 350˚F for 25 to 28 minutes, until just very lightly golden at edges and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cookies cool completely in pan.

Remove from pan by carefully lifting up with edges of parchment paper. Set on kitchen counter or table and spread frosting over uncut cookies, then add colorful sprinkles. Let frosting set, then cut into squares.

To make frosting: Put yogurt into a medium size bowl, then add powdered sugar a cup at a time, blending well. The mixture will be thick! If you want it thinner, just use less powdered sugar.
