SNICKERDOODLE COOKIE BARS

Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars are soft, thick, and packed with that cinnamon flavor we all love! This simple Snickerdoodle recipe is made in a sheet pan so the bars can be easily sliced and served.

Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars are so much easier to make than scooping out and baking individual cookies. Snickerdoodles are a favorite of mine, but sometimes it just feels like a lot of work to roll the dough into balls and dip each one individually in cinnamon and sugar. The solution? Snickerdoodle cookie bars! Just put all the dough in a sheet pan and bake the whole batch at one time!

Why you’ll love these Snickerdoodle Bars:

• Easy to make. This recipe uses basic ingredients that you likely have on hand, and you can make them in under 10 minutes. Regular Snickerdoodle cookies need to be scooped, rolled, and individually coated in cinnamon sugar. These are so much easier than that!
• Crowd pleaser. I love these cookie bars, but don’t just take my word for it! Check out the comments below to see how much our readers love them too! They really are the best!!!

Ingredients in Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars

Butter – For best results, use real butter and make sure it is softened to room temperature before adding to the dough.

Sugar – Can’t have cookies without sugar! You will need brown sugar and granulated sugar for the recipe. For best results, make sure your brown sugar is soft and fresh.

Eggs – Two large eggs will help to bind all of the other ingredients together.

Vanilla extract – The higher the quality of the vanilla, the better.

Flour – All-purpose flour works best in snickerdoodles. You can use a gluten-free alternative if needed.

Salt – Just a little bit of salt helps all of the other flavors to pop.

CINNAMON/SUGAR TOPPING

Sugar and cinnamon – You will need 1/2 cup sugar and 4 teaspoons of cinnamon to sprinkle on the top of the cookie bars before baking.

How to make Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars

Cream the butter and sugars together for 2-3 minutes.

Add eggs and vanilla and mix for another 2-3 minutes.

Add flour and salt and mix just until combined.

Distribute the dough evenly in the prepared pan and use a knife to spread evenly to the edges.

In a small bowl, mix the sugar and ground cinnamon together and sprinkle over the top of the dough. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let cool and then slice and serve.

HOW TO CUT PERFECT COOKIE BARS

The answer to getting every single cookie bar cut and looking perfect is parchment paper! I used to always get frustrated with desserts that were made in a 9X13 or sheet pan because I felt like I was always destroying the entire first row trying to get them out of the pan! Then I discovered that if you use parchment paper, you can remove all the cookie bars from the pan and slice them perfectly.

If you don’t have parchment paper, you can just grease your pan like you usually do but your first row may just not be quite as pretty! This cookie bar recipe is one of the easiest to cut into squares – they stay intact much better than many other desserts!
