White Chocolate Chip Sugar Cookie Bars with Browned Butter Pumpkin Spice Frosting

So, my friends, one thing I want to work on is my writing. And some days I have a funny story to tell, or I want to whine about something, or I feel some sort of inspiration or emotion and want to pass that along. But other days I just want to give you lots and lots of (what I think are) pretty pictures…

This, my friends, is one of those days…

I edited and edited, and I got down to nine photos, and I just don’t want to decide between them.

Maybe that’s because I have too many major life decisions to make in the coming weeks and months. You know, like things involving what house do I want to buy, what preschool am I going to send The Bug to, am I going to send King Stuff to daycare part time and, you know, get really serious about this whole blogging career. For someone who hates making decisions, that’s about using up all of my decision making capacity. Really, how do you expect be to be able to decide between all of these…

I mean, White Chocolate Chip Sugar Cookie Bars with Browned Butter Pumpkin Spice Frosting, what’s not to love? Sugar Cookie Bars are one of my favorite simple and fast ways to make a big batch of cookies without the tie and effort to scoop and shape or roll and cut. You can mix in different flavoring or chips or chunks or nuts to flavor them how you like, or keep the simple and add a big punch of flavor with a homemade frosting. That’s what I did here. And let me tell you, this frosting, ohhhh, this frosting.

Buttery, nutty, just enough pumpkin to taste pumpkin but you’re not like, “Ugh, more pumpkin!” and just a hint of warm spices like cinnamon and ginger. I could eat it with a spoon. Perfect against the simple flavor of the sugar cookie bars there are studded with just a few white chocolate chips for those little creamy, vanilla-y bursts.

And don’t let homemade frosting or browning butter intimidate you. Just watch the butter so it doesn’t burn. In fact, I’d err on the side of getting it just barely brown, because it’ll brown more as it sits in the warm pan and cools down. Take this from someone who left her nicely browned butter in a warm pan and then put her baby up for a nap. Sp mix up the cookies – it take no time – and while they bake, brown the butter. Then as the cookies are cooling, you can whip up the frosting. Homemade frosting is seriously day and seriously tastier than the canned stuff. Easy peasy and this makes a TON, so you can give cookies to everyone in the neighborhood. Or all of your husband’s new coworkers.
