Here’s a soft, chewy, and cinnamon-sweet recipe for Snickerdoodle Bars—all the cozy flavor of snickerdoodle cookies, but much easier to make in one pan:
🍰 Snickerdoodle Bars
🧾 Ingredients
- 1 cup (225 g) butter, melted
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
🔥 Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease or line a baking pan (9×13 inch).
- In a bowl, mix melted butter and sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs and vanilla, mix well.
- In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients to form a thick batter.
- Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar topping over the batter.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and set in the center.
- Cool, slice into bars, and enjoy!
💡 Tips
- Don’t overbake—slightly soft in the center = chewy bars.
- Add a cream cheese swirl for a richer version.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
If you want, I can give you a healthier version (lower sugar or whole wheat) or a super gooey bakery-style version with extra cinnamon topping.
