Eggless Snickerdoodle Bars Recipe Highlights
Snickerdoodles are a family favorite, hands down! And these Eggless Snickerdoodle Bars taste just like the traditional snickerdoodle cookies but without rolling or baking in batches. The bars are wonderfully soft and buttery, and there’s a bit of tang courtesy of cream of tartar. No one fancy-pants ingredient is to be found in this recipe. Quick, simple, and you don’t even need a mixer to make them! Plus, they are ready from start to finish in 30 minutes. The best kind of recipe, right? Perfect for when those sweet cravings hit!!
Here’s what you’ll need:
Flour: Standard all-purpose flour works best here; skip the cake flour, bread flour, and wheat flour. Make sure to measure accurately; a kitchen scale is the best way to measure your ingredients, in my opinion. Baking powder & Baking soda: Make sure they’re not expired or too old. To avoid a chemical aftertaste, use baking powder that is labeled aluminum free. I usually use the Clabber Girl brand, and though the ingredients state aluminum, I’ve never noticed an aluminum aftertaste. Salt: I prefer kosher or sea salt. If you only have table salt handy, I recommend reducing the amount to half. Cream of tartar: Cream of tartar adds a unique tangy flavor to the cookie, which sets it apart from sugar cookies and makes it a classic snickerdoodle, so don’t skip it! Butter: I prefer to use unsalted butter, but if you only have salted butter handy, you can use it. In this case, skip the salt called in the recipe. Sugars: For this recipe, you will need regular white granulated sugar o caster sugar, and brown sugar. Combining both sugars will help the bars have the perfect texture with a deeper caramelized flavor. Sour cream: You can substitute sour cream for plain regular yogurt. I recommend using the full-fat versions. Vanilla extract: For optimal flavor, reach for pure vanilla instead of imitation. Even better, try homemade vanilla extract! If you are looking for non-alcoholic vanilla flavoring, I recommend Simply Organic Vanilla Flavoring. Vinegar: You can use apple cider vinegar or white vinegar. Cinnamon: For extra flavor!
