Unicorn Sugar Cookie Bars
Do you have a kid that loves unicorns?
Eden loves unicorns, so when we bake, we bake unicorn-themed desserts!
We’ve been home since school started, so we’ve had time to bake for the first time in months. We might have gone a little overboard on these, but the results were awesome and delicious. You could use a confetti cake mix instead of making the batter if you need to save some time.
