Snickerdoodle Bars

These snickerdoodle bars might just be one of the best desserts I have ever eaten. They are a chewy soft cookie bar that is out of this world.

I wish I could hand one to you through the screen because they are AH-MA-ZING! Seriously, I could have eaten the entire pan because they were so good, and when they are still warm…helllloooo.

They are, in my humble opinion, the very best snickerdoodle recipe. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.

How To Make Snickerdoodle Bars

Start by adding the egg and the sugar to a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Secondly, add the brown sugar to the bowl and mix well.

I added the sugars to the egg first because if you pour hot melted butter over the egg, it will cook it. So, the best thing to do it mix the egg and the sugar together before pouring in the melted butter.

Next, add the butter to the bowl and mix it together.

Finally, add the flour, salt, and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until well combined.

Spread the dough into an 8″ x 8″ casserole dish and prep the topping.

I sprayed the bottom of the casserole dish with non-stick spray and then placed some parchment paper over the top. I sprayed the top of the parchment paper with non-stick spray, as well so nothing will stick and it worked great.

The topping is a combination of sugar and cinnamon. I added some to a small bowl and mixed the two ingredients together.

Pour the cinnamon and sugar mixture over the top and bake the snickerdoodle bars for about 25 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean.

TIP: You can use about half the amount of sugar and cinnamon if you’d like to have a little bit less on top. Just cut the amount in half, stir it up, pour it on top, and bake it the same way.

Once the bars bake, allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. I let them cool for about 20 minutes.

Once the bars cool, you can easily pull the parchment paper out of the casserole dish and cut them on the counter.

This is a soft snickerdoodle cookie bar that I promise you will love. It’s perfect for gift-giving if you don’t eat them all first. We had a hard time not eating them all in one sitting!

What is a snickerdoodle?

A snickerdoodle cookie bar is similar to a sugar cookie, but covered in a cinnamon and sugar coating. Snickerdoodle cookies are typically rolled in the mixture, but in this case, the mixture is sprinkled on top.
