Soft + Thick!
I LOVE Snickerdoodles and was super excited when my SIL made some snickerdoodle bars for a family gathering. The hubby was even more excited! He said they were just the right amount of sweet. Well, I asked if she would share the recipe and she was happy to do so. I hope you like them as much as we did. They are thick and chewy with just the right amount of crunch.
A Quick Prep!
This snickerdoodle bars recipe preps in minutes for all the flavors of snickerdoodles in bar form! PREP. Heat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom of 9×13 baking pan. In a small bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. BATTER. In a large bowl beat butter until cream. Beat in sugars. Gradually beat eggs and vanilla until combined on low speed. Beat in dry ingredients until combined. LAYER. Spoon ½ the cookie dough batter into the pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture (1 tablespoon of each) evenly over the batter—spoon teaspoons of remaining batter in an even layer over the cinnamon/sugar mixture. BAKE. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely. GLAZE. In a small bowl stir glaze ingredients (1 cup powdered sugar, 1-2 tablespoons milk, ½ teaspoon vanilla) until smooth and thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over bars. Enjoy!
Recipe Tips + Storing Info
Here are some tips for easy baking! Mixing the batter. Use the paddle attachment on a stand mixer or an electric hand mixer. Don’t overmix the cookie dough as it can create a denser texture. Easy clean up. Line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal and easier cleanup. Glaze. It’s easiest to drizzle the glaze out of a plastic baggie with a cut corner or with it dripping off a spoon. STORE leftover snickerdoodle cookie bars on the counter, covered, for up to 3-5 days. FREEZE. Let the bars cool completely and store them in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months.
