Experimental Halloween Sweet Treats!

I made a tasty Halloween treat today! Candy Corn Cookie Bars! It's super simple & super tasty.

Ingredients:
-1 package of dry, sugar cookie dough mix (I used Target's brand, Market Pantry)
-1 egg
-1 stick (1/2 cup) of melted butter or margarine
-1 container of white or cream cheese frosting

Directions:
-preheat over to 375 degrees
-choose to use either a round pie dish or a square baking dish, (see below for specifics)
-mix together melted butter, cookie and egg, and mix well with electric mixer
-split the dough into 2 equal parts and separate into 2 bowls
-use red & yellow food coloring to color one bowl of dough yellow and the other orange
-Spread the yellow dough into a well greased baking dish, pressing down as you go to cover the entire area. Spread the orange dough over the yellow.
-bake for 16 minutes or until the top browns just a bit and the dough is cookie through the middle.
-allow to cool completely and then frost
-place in the fridge for 30 minutes (thus makes it easier to cut with cleaner lines)
-if you used square dish, cut into 9 equal squares, then cut each square diagonally into 2 triangle. You'll have 18 candy corn cookie bars!
-if you used a round dish, cut as you would cut a pie.
