Chewy Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars Recipe

Ingredients:

• For the Bars:

  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • ½ tsp salt

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 tsp cream of tartar

• For the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating:

  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar

  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cream of tartar. Set aside.

3. Cream the butter and sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until creamy and smooth (about 2 minutes). You can use a hand mixer or stand mixer for this.

4. Add the eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract, mixing until everything is well combined.

5. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

6. Spread the batter: Spread the cookie dough evenly in the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

7. Make the cinnamon-sugar mixture: In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon.

8. Add the topping: Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top of the cookie dough.

9. Bake: Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the edges are golden, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (or with just a few moist crumbs).

10. Cool and serve: Let the bars cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before cutting them into squares. For best results, let them cool completely before serving so they set properly.

Enjoy your chewy snickerdoodle cookie bars! They should be soft, slightly chewy, and packed with that signature cinnamon-sugar flavor.
