Description
Snickerdoodle cookie bars offer all the cinnamon-sugar goodness of traditional snickerdoodle cookies in a simpler, quicker form. No rolling dough into individual balls, just mix, spread, and bake to enjoy chewy, cinnamon-sweet bars perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
1 cup softened butter (unsalted)
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Spread the dough evenly in the prepared pan.
Mix cinnamon and sugar for topping and sprinkle over the dough.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bars cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before slicing into squares.
Notes
Avoid overmixing the dough to keep the bars soft and chewy.
Check the bars near the end of baking to prevent overbaking and drying out.
