Cookie Bars

Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp. Hanna's vanilla pure extract
5 cups flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
parchment paper

Directions:
Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing after each egg. Add vanilla extract and mix well. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda and stir with a wire whisk to mix well. Add to wet mixture and mix just until combined. Spread dough onto a greased or parchment paper 13 x 18 baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-15 minutes, until light golden brown or until a toothpick comes out clean. The bars won’t look done so do the toothpick test. Cool completely and then frost.
