Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
1.5 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs at room temperature
1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
2.75 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp baking powder
0.5 tsp salt
0.75 cup rainbow sprinkles (jimmies) plus extra for topping
1.5 cups powdered sugar
2 tbsp milk
0.25 tsp pure vanilla extract

Notes

Storage: Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze unglazed bars for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before glazing. Make-Ahead: The dough can be pressed into the pan, covered tightly, and refrigerated overnight before baking. Add 1-2 minutes to the bake time. Variations: For a richer flavor, substitute 1 tsp of the vanilla extract with almond extract. Use holiday-themed sprinkles for different occasions. Ensure sprinkles are 'jimmies' style, as nonpareils may bleed color.
