SNICKERDOODLE COOKIE BARS

Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars are soft, delicious and packed with that cinnamon flavor we all love! Simple snickerdoodle recipe that is made in a sheet pan and can be easily sliced and served.

Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars are so much easier to make than taking the time to scoop out and bake individual cookies. Snickerdoodles are a favorite of mine, but sometimes it just feels like a lot of work 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!

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 are 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!

Ingredients in Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars

1 cup butter, softened to room temperature

1 cup sugar

2/3 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

3 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups flour

1/2 tsp salt

Topping

1/2 cup sugar

4 tsp ground cinnamon

How to make Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars

Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 10X15X1 pan with non-stick cooking spray and then line with parchment paper.

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.

TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST SUGAR COOKIE BARS

• Do not melt the butter! The butter needs to be softened (at room temperature), but using melted butter will ruin the cookies.
• Spend a little extra time when you mix the butter and sugar. Creaming them together for 2-3 minutes will improve the consistency of your cookies.
• Preheat the oven. This will help your cookies turn out right every time!
• Use parchment paper. Doing this will make it really easy to remove the cookies from your pan.
• Make sure not to over bake your cookie bars.  Once the edges begin to turn even the lightest golden brown, take them out of the oven! I prefer to err on the side of being slightly undercooked for cookies because if they cook even a little bit too long, they can get hard and I really like soft cookies!

This little girl definitely keeps me on my toes these days. She loves to color. Doesn’t always love to color on paper. This particular time, I saw her face and then she kept talking about her ears, which I kind of ignored. And then I realized she really had colored with the marker inside of her ears! Good thing she’s super cute and has the funniest little facial expressions…we just can’t get enough of her even when she’s a little bit of a troublemaker!
