- For the cookie bars: Preheat the oven to 350°F/177°C. Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper so that it hangs over the sides.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- With the mixer on medium-low speed, stream in the oil and mix until combined.
- Add the egg, yolk, and vanilla and mix together.
- On low speed, add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Gently press the cookie dough into the prepared pan and bake the bars for 20-25 minutes until the edges are very lightly golden brown. You’ll want the middle to still be soft.
- Set the hot pan on a wire rack to cool.
- For the cream cheese frosting: Using a handheld or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment beat the butter and cream cheese on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla and mix on low speed until completely incorporated.
- Add enough cream or milk for a spreadable consistency. Increase the mixer to medium-high speed and beat for 1-2 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Spread the frosting over the completely cooled bars.
