In reply to B75. I'm so sorry that they didn't turn out for you. Did you use a 10"x15" pan? If you used a 9X13, then the bake time would need to be longer to make sure the bars are cooked all the way through.

Too gooey. Almost like they were raw dough. I baked them for the full amount of time. These bars need baking powder or soda or both. Won’t make again.

In reply to Shonda Geissinger. Jessica replied to your question back in May. These are bars and more dense, so no need for tartar.

In reply to Shonda Geissinger. Great question! Traditional snickerdoodles use cream of tartar for that classic tang, but this recipe is a simplified, snickerdoodle-style cinnamon sugar cookie. They’re still soft and delicious, just without the tang. If you prefer the traditional flavor, you can absolutely add cream of tartar!

I haven’t made these yet, but Snickerdoodle cookies are supposed to have cream of tarter in them. This recipe does not call for that. Is there a reason why??? Otherwise these are just cinnamon sugar cookies. . . . . . .

In reply to Shonda. Because cookie bars end up being a bit more dense than traditional cookies, cream of tartar isn't needed. But you're welcome to add ½ tsp if you'd like.

I haven’t made this yet, but snickerdoodle cookies are supposed to have cream of tarter in it and this recipe doesn’t have that. So I’m wondering how much cream of tarter do I add to this to make it a true snickerdoodle, please?

This is one of my husband’s absolute favorite desserts. Found it over a year ago and we still love them. Thank you!
