These soft, thick, buttery, moist, cinnamon-sugar Home-made Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars are to die for! Very few ingredients and super easy to make.
Holy Cow!!
Let me tell you upfront, it tastes exactly like your classic, old-fashioned Snickerdoodles Cookies you know so well. Definitely a family favorite, only these Snickerdoodles are in a yummy cinnamon cookie 'blondie bar' version!
So, what's missing why I should make these vs. snickerdoodle cookies??
It's a thing called "Time".
Remember all that rolling of the dough into balls and then dipping each one into the cinnamon-sugar mixture? Yes, it's fun or boring, depending on the person (s) making them, but more than anything, it's kind of time consuming. (I love snickerdoodles, but I hate the whole process of rolling and rolling.)
If you are looking for 'simple jack' easy, but still want quality, these steps can be omitted, and now you've eliminated all that time involved rolling 2x.
Awe....Yeahhhh!!! Yippee! I love easy and simple!
This recipe has very few ingredients and has no leaveners! Can you believe it? No baking powder, baking soda, or cream of tartar!? {And they're moist and fudgy, just like a blondie!}
Basically, you are mixing up the cookie dough, spreading it into as 8x8 pan, sprinkling the top with the cinnamon-sugar, popping it into the oven and presto- you're baking! Really delicious!
The whole family will go bonkers!
If you love cinnamon flavor, you'll love these Apple Cinnamon Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars, these “Bisquick” Chocolate Cinnamon Greek Yogurt Banana Coffee Cake, this Cinnamon Roll Pancakes (Cream Cheese Glaze Included) and of course, this Sinful ‘Cinnabon’ Cinnamon Roll Cake! Who could resist? <3
Here's the recipe! Happy Baking!
Home-made Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars
Ingredients
Cookie Dough
- ½ cup butter softened
- 1 cup sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 & ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all purpose flour
Topping
- 1 tablespoon sugar + 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper, and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, using mixer, cream together butter and sugar until pale and light.
- And in salt, egg and vanilla extract and beat until well combined.
- Add in flour and stir until no streaks of dry ingredients remain.
- Scoop thick dough into prepared pan and smooth it into an even layer.
- Stir together remaining 1 tbsp sugar and 1 tsp ground cinnamon.
- Sprinkle dough evenly with cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Bake for about 30 minutes, until bars are set and the edges are just very lightly browned. Don't overbake! You want the cookies to be soft and moist.
- Cool in the pan before slicing.
- Store in sealed container to stay fresh! Bet they won't last long! 🙂
Notes
You could halve the recipe in half and bake in a 9x5 pan, baking time could vary, bars will be thicker. Or make the batch and freeze some of them for later. Hope you try them Violet! xo
Would I be able to size the recipe down
Yessss! That sounds great to me too! Thank you so much!
Excellent! Gonna make it for the second time tonight! Thank you !
Nothing happens if you don't use salt, some people like the addition of salt to bring out the flavors more.
is salt optional? what happens if you dont use salt??
No baking powder in this recipe, but if you did it would just puff up a little and might not be as fudgy.
do you use baking powder in this? and if not what happens if you do?
It will be a light and fluffy texture
What consistency is the butter mixed with the sugar?
It’s amazing and it’s not had to make
Absolutely fantastic recipe! We like to double it and serve it hot under vanilla ice cream.
I haven't tried it, but I don't think it would work out. I know you can substitute applesauce for the egg.
Can I use applesauce as a substitute of butter?
I don't know Lor. Sorry!
Could this be made with almond flour?
I've never tried it, but yes you could, but not sure how many you would need for a recipe, maybe 4 to 6 and definitely reduce the time down. Hope that helps Jackie!
Can you make these in mini loaf pans?
I know the feeling! Thank you so much Shannen!! Happy Holidays! xo
Delicious! I don’t even like to share them! Lol
Thank you so much Navaeh! xo
this recipe is amazing .
I've not tried it, but I think you could spread batter in pan, refrigerate overnight, sealed with saran wrap and bake next day. If you try it let us know how it works out. Happy Holidays!
Are you able to store the batter in the fridge overnight?
Yes you could Deb. 1 /2 teaspoon to 1 teaspoon. Enjoy!
Can you add cream of tartar to make them more like snickerdoodles.?
You can do either Kathleen. Great to hear the whole family loves them!! That makes me so happy and thank you so much for commenting! xo
Love these bars. My family is seriously addicted and I have to make double every single time. Thank you for such an easy, delicious recipe. One question; do you store leftovers in fridge or counter (not that they last very long.
Thank you
Sweet! I'm so thrilled to hear your whole family approved! Thank you so much Jacqueline!! xo
These are delicious and came out PERFECT!!! Exactly like the recipe! Huge hit with my family!
Thank you so much Eva! So happy to hear!! xo
Delish and EASY!!
Sorry to hear that Jan. I've made these many times and never had that issue and never had anyone comment they were crumbly, etc. Sounds like too much flour was added and baked too long in my opinion. 🙁
Thought they were too crumbly. I double the batch, it just doesn't have the cookie taste
If you want to use an 8x8 use recipe as is (1x). If you want to double the recipe (2x), use a 9x13 pan. Hope you enjoy!! 🙂
Hi and thanks for the recipe. You left us 2 recipes. Are we suppose top use 2 or just one entire recipe for an 8 x 8? Thank you!
Yes, you can use non-dairy butter for sure.
Can I make this dairy free?
Yes you could do that Karla. Enjoy!
Can I use salted butter instead and omit the salt? Thank you
Yes you can Beth!
is it possible to freeze these after they are baked ?
I'm so happy to hear you agree how super easy they are to make! Thank you so much Rachel!! xo
These are so yummy and make the house smell amazing when they are baking! Super easy to make too!
Great recipe and easy. I cooked mine about 25 min
That's awesome to hear Karman! Thank you so much for letting us know and for making them! xo
I used the same recipe and it also works great for snickerdoodle cookies all you have to do is add a little more flour!
My family always has such a hard time agreeing on dessert but with these snickerdoodle bars it was hands down a family favorite! This was such an easy recipe to follow and not many ingredients (big pluses in my book!) Thank you for sharing this amazingly yummy recipe!!
Sweet Sarah! I'm so glad to hear they worked out for you and they were a hit! That makes my day! Thank you so much!! xo
These were really easy to make and turned out so well! Definitely a hit! I really liked that the ingredients were simple. The amount is perfect for 12 squares. I didn't have foil so I just used canola oil on a paper towel to grease the pan, and they popped out no problem. This will definitely be a go to recipe since I know I'll always have have the ingredients in my cabinet.
That is awesome to hear Kayla! Thank you so much for letting me know! xo
These are delicious and easy to make! My family and friends enjoyed them!
HI Anabella! I know you can make cookies with oil, so I don't see why not, but you may need to add some more flour, like 2 - 4 tablespoons worth. Thank you so much for you sweet words! Hope they work out for you!
Hi amazing recipe I just wanted to know If I can substitute the butter with oil or will they ruin the taste. Thanks love your recipe ❤️
In the oven right now, I doubled the recipe. Just make sure you put the bars in longer if you're doubling the recipe
Yay! That's great to hear Del! Thank you so much for trying them! xo
They turned out so good! Easy to make and I had all the ingredients at home.
Tastes good but took way more than 30 minutes to bake 🙁 took almost 45 minutes to not have the inside be complete uncooked mush
I've never tried it, but planning on it at some point. If you try it, let us know Katrina!
Can this be made vegan using a flax egg mixture?
I made these this morning. My husband can’t stop eating them. They are freakin’ delicious and so easy to make. Thank you for this incredible recipes. It’s going in my recipe binder! 🙂
Yes you can, it's just for easier removal.
Hey I'm wondering if I can skip the aluminum foil?
Thank you Brittany! So happy to hear your feedback! xo
Soooooo easy! And delicious!
Awesome Ava! I'm so glad you found them easy to make and I know your grandpa is going to be ecstatic because you made them! That is so sweet of you, he is going to love it!
It was super easy to make, and I am 10! My grandpa loves snickerdoodles so I am excited to bring him this delicious treat!
You are very welcome Karen! It's one of the easiest yet yummiest bars ever for the cinnamon lovers!
These were amazing! The family could not wait until they were cooled, gobbled them up with glass of milk! Thank you for this great recipe.
Awesome! You are very welcome! xo
Thank you very much, Kim! I tried this out and it was delicious. We really enjoyed the bars 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Yes, just add your sugar to the softened butter and gently mash it into the butter with the tines of a fork. With your wooden spoon, stir the butter and sugar until they are light and fluffy, using your muscle power. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the mixture off the sides of the bowl periodically. The butter is "creamed" when it has almost doubled in mass and it has lightened to a yellowish-white color. Hope this helps and you enjoy!
Hi! Will it make a difference if I mixed the ingredients by hand? I don't have a mixer :/
Great to hear Julie! I'm so glad everyone enjoyed them and it all worked out! xo
They turned out great after refrigerating for about 3 hours ! I waited to put the cinnamon sugar topping on until right before I baked it! I’m not sure I what the difference would be if you put the cinnamon sugar on and then refrigerated the dough. My husband and in laws loved it! Thanks for an amazing recipe!
Although I've never done this, I think it would be fine. It would basically be like cookie dough you put in the fridge or freezer, you may have to bake an additional few minutes though. Let us know how it works out if you do.
Would it affect the batter of the cookies if I make it ahead of time and store in the refrigerator for a few hours until ready to bake?
30 minutes, then check and add an additional 5 if needed, but better not to overbake. xo
If I’m doubling the recipe how long should I bake it ?
I'm so excited you and the boys loved them! Thank you so much for commenting and the awesome rating Mommyof3!! xo
These are amazing. I sprinkled brown sugar instead of regular sugar and cinnamon on top. They taste like those butter cookies in the tin but so much better. Thank you for this ! My boys loved it and I can't wait to have some with coffee in the morning.
Awesome to hear! Thank you so much for commenting and the great review! 🙂
hi we made these tonight and we all loved them we ran out or sugar so we just used cinnamon on top and they were still delicious i would definitely recommend this recipe.
A general tip for baking and cooking using salted or unsalted butter doesn’t really make a huge difference so you should use salted butter. Salted butter has salt which enhances other flavors like sugar. Buying only salted butter is cheaper since you only are buying one time as well. I hope this was helpful.
Hi Alana! I used unsalted, but you could use salted as well, just omit the salt. I use stick butter. I haven't tried it with tub butter but if it's real butter, I don't see where there would be a problem! Hope you love them!! xo
Hi! I was wondering what kind of butter you use? Unsalted or salted? Stick butter or can I use any tub butter? Thanks for your reply in advance! Super excited to make these:)
Hi Alison, sorry to hear that. It sounds like you over-baked them or added to much flour? I'm not sure since I wasn't there, but I've heard placing a slice of bread in the cookie jar or by placed in a zip-lock can soften cookies that are too hard; change the slice every other day. A bread slice will also keep soft cookies soft, just as it softens hardened brown sugar, so maybe try this? Bars in general should not be over-baked, or this is what will happen. Hope this helps and I hope you try making them again and take them out a few minutes earlier. 🙂 Thanks for your feedback!
they turned out very well when they came out of the oven, but now they have gotten hard. What should I do?
I'm soooo happy to hear this Tammy! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! ❤️❤️❤️
Gone in minutes. Easy to make. Can't wait to make a couple more batches for my daughter.
not needed, no.
No cream if tartar??
Hi, I just baked these blondies with some cashew nuts mixed in and turned it out well 😊. I really like the buttery taste in it.. will definitely bake it again..
Yay! Toaster ovens rock! My mom uses hers for everything! Glad to hear they were a success for you Jimi! Thank you so much for the rave review! xo
Made these exactly like the recipe said. Only difference I made was used a toaster oven, baked at 325° for 30 minutes. Amazing! So yummy!
Yes for sure! Enjoy!
Just wondering, can parchment paper be used in this recipe rather than aluminum foil?
Sounds wonderful! Thank you Kassandra for wanting to make it again! 🙂
made this recipe and they came out perfect!! I even shaved down some abuelita chocolate and added it with the flour and it came out delicious!! even sprinkled some on top!! will make again !!!
That's great to hear Lauren! Wootwoot! Thank you so much!! That makes my day!
Tried the toaster oven and it turned soo good! Thank you! I even did your No Bake Cookie Dough Bars and they were sooo delicious! Definitely going to try more of your recipes!!
It works the same as an oven so I would think you could, although I haven't tried it. Hope you enjoy Lauren! Happy New Year!
Can these be baked in a toaster oven??
Either you didn't bake long enough or after you baked they set up. How did they turn out once they were cooled?
i doubled recipe for 9 x 13 pan and thecdough came out gooey
That's awesome! So happy to hear that you are loving them. They are definitely the quickest, easiest dessert to please. Thankyou so much for commenting. Happy Holidays to you Leigh Ann! xo
These bars are amazing! Thanks for sharing this recipe. I’ve made them twice in a month already.
Awesome Ticia! I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed them and shared them! Thank you for commenting! Happy HOlidays! xo
We made these today for our neighbors! Delicious and Kid friendly as well. Thanks!
The caramel extract sounds good actually! So happy they turned out for you Ruth! Thank you so much for trying them! xo
I've been wanting to make these for a little while, so I got busy today and made them. Amazing - even though I messed them up! I have been using caramel flavor/extract and I grabbed my "vanilla" really quickly to put it in the dough. Oooops! It was the caramel. I put 1 1/4 tsp. of vanilla in it also.
These turned out really good! I love Snickerdoodles - my favorite cookies!!
You are so sweet! Thank you so much Becky! We love them too!!
I can’t tell you how many times I have made these and they always turn out wonderfully! They are my grandkids lunch box favorites.
Yes you can Doug. Layer the cookies or bars in a single layer inside your gallon size bag. You’ll probably fit about 12-15 cookies or bars to a layer, then place a paper towel on top (inside the bag) and add another layer. Seal and freeze.
To defrost: Let them set on the counter to come to room temperature. Don’t remove the paper towel, that will absorb the moisture as they thaw. Enjoy! xo
An you freeze these?
Wow! That's amazing! I'm so happy to hear that Josh and thank you so much for sharing your experience. xo
Amazing i baked them on my pellet grill and they rocked
Erin, yes that is a great hack! Love it and thank you!! xo
Great recipe!
life hack: use your butter wrapper to press down and spread with.
I'm so happy to hear that Jenny! Thank you so much for trying it and your review! xo
These are marvelous! I added a tad more of the topping, but I love the texture of the cookie itself. Thank you so much for this recipe! 🙂
Lulu, It sounds like you over-baked them; maybe added too much flour or maybe the temperature on the oven is a little off? These would be better to add less than more flour, so when making them next time, I would use a tablespoon less and underbake them. It's a little better to underbake, so even if they look underbaked, take them out at 27 minutes and let them continue baking and set up. Hopefully this will work for you? xo
Just made a batch of these. They were great when they first came out of the oven but after they cooled became super hard (even though I had put them in a tightly sealed tupperware!). I wonder what I did wrong?
Wow! I'm so happy to hear that you did bake these and I'm so glad you enjoy them! Thank you so much! xo
I’ve Been looking for recipes with no baking soda, powder or cream tartar because I never bake 🤣🤣🤷🏻♀️ So this was easy fun & delicious for whenever my family ask for a snack.
I would check it at 22 minutes and then every 2-3 minutes after that. Hope you enjoy!!
If you double and use a 9 x 13 pan, do you change the cook time?
I'm so thrilled your whole family loved them! Easy, peasy recipe, so glad you enjoyed and thank you so much for your awesome review! xo
I'm so happy to hear that Shannon! Thank you so much for the awesome rating and comment! So kind! xo
These were so good, and so simple. My family gobbled them right up. The crust was divine❤ I double the recipe and baked in a 9 by 13. It took about 30 minutes or so to bake.
Sure, I just like easy removal and easier clean up. Enjoy! xo
Can we skip the aluminum foil lining and just grease the pan well? Why do we need the foil lining.
Hi Connie, yes if you double the recipe you do use a 9x13 pan. I believe her issue was, she would have to figure out the time to bake, since I didn't put it in the notes along with the doubling the recipe. Sorry to cause confusion. I hope it worked out for you! xo
The LAST line of the instructions says double the recipe and use a 9x13 pan! I'm confused by your answer to Josie. But I doubled, and it looks just right in a 9x13.
Stephanie! That's so awesome you are making more for your son and friends and I'm so thrilled to hear you're a new follower! That is the best news! xo
Omg these are soo amazing and very simple!
My teen son told me i did not make enuf for when his friends are over so im making more tonight 😋. Im hoping this will motivate him to do the dishes .Thanks i am a new follower of yours ..Happy baking .
Easy and delicious! I made them for a bake sale at church. We had to make our baked goods with Fair Trade sugar. And these bars turned out awesome! Chewy and snickerdoodley. Thank you!!!
Yes you could, they'll just be brown sugar Snickerdoodle bars, probably more like blondies, but still good. Hope you enjoy.
Can you use brown sugar instead of white? Thanks!!
Tasted more like a coffee cake to me rather than a bar. I let it cook 25 min instead of 30 so i wouldnt think it overcooked...
Great idea with the road trip snackin'! These really are perfect for that. Thank you so much for the awesome review and hope there's many more road trips to come! xo
This is my third time making a double batch of these, and they are amazing! They even freeze well. They've become our family's official road trip snack. They last in a Ziploc bag for a couple of days, there's no chocolate chips to melt and get everywhere, and they're such a welcome break from fast food. The classic snickerdoodle flavor in a snap. Thank you so much for sharing! <3
Now you know what I go through Pam and I can't resist sweets on a daily basis! Thank you so much for the awesome review, these are always a hit anytime of the year and I'm so glad you enjoyed them. xo
Oh my stars!!!! Talk about YUM!!!! Just finished making these. I did the double batch in a 9x13 and they turned out great. I was initially concerned because there is so much butter compared to the amount of flour, but it works fine. I baked them approximately the same as the time for the 8x8. Just do what’s recommended and look for the slightly browned edges and they will be perfect. Soooo easy! Thanks for the recipe.... now about the 4 pounds I gained recently.....yikes!! These cookie bars aren’t helping ??
I'm so happy you loved them!! Thank you so much for following, that's so awesome! xo Makes my day!
Loved it!!! Now following
It's just to get them out of the pan easier when you cut the bars on a cutting surface. Hope that helps and you enjoy! xo
Making these now, was wondering what the aluminum foil does?
Yay! I'm so glad you all enjoyed it! Thank you so much for sharing!
Wow, these were amazing! Also, so quick and easy! I had the batter mixed and ready to put in the oven in 8 mins. I doubled the recipe and did the 9 by 13 pan you suggested, and I’m so glad I did bc the crowd I made them for ate every single one of them and still wanted more! I will be making this for again. Thanks for shari g this recipe with us.
What rudeness! These are delicious!!
Yes you can just double the recipe and put it in a 9x13 pan or 2 8x8 pans. Timing may vary a little if using a 9x13 pan and bake a couple minutes more. Enjoy!
Is there any instructions for doubling the recipe? Or just double up on everything?
Just made these as a late snack for me and my husband because we wanted something sweet. Although when I opened the fridge I realized we were out of eggs ? a quick google search let me know I could mix 1tablespoon of flax seed and 3 tablespoons water as an egg replacement. I was worried it’d change the texture but it worked out perfectly. These are amazing
The 8x8 bars are thicker than the 9x13 bars, so they require just a little more time when you are doubling the recipe, you would not double the recipe for the 8x8 bars. Hope that helps and hope you enjoy! 🙂
I'm confused... baking time on the recipe (for an 8x8 pan) says 30 mins. Baking time provided in comments for a doubled recipe (9x13) is only 22-25 mins??? Wont more batter need more baking time?
Hi Harriett! I would say 3-5 days! Thank you so much!!
Great recipe! They are delicious! I was wondering how long these will stay fresh refrigerated in a sealed container?
These came out so soft and tasty!!! They also berley came out of the oven
Yes you can. Just place them in a single layer in a bag or airtight container and freeze for up to a month. xo
Sorry...I want to make these for my sons graduation party.
Do they freeze well?
Yea let me know how it works out! 🙂
I used all purpose, I'm going to try again tonight. Regardless of how it came out everyone liked the "cake" hehehe
I'm so glad you enjoyed them Christine! Great to know about the gluten flour! Awesome!! Thank you so much. 🙂
It is not too often that I post a review, but I made these today & needed to let you know that they were delicious! I used gf flour and they were perfect! Quick, easy, buttery & perfectly cinnamon sweet! Thank you!
Cristal, did you use self-rising flour? I've made these plenty of times and never had that issue.
Followed the receipe exactly and doubled the batch, used a 9x13 pan. They came out like cake, very fluffy and about 1.5 inches thick. Not sure what I did wrong
Has anyone tried making these without lining the pan with foil? I'm wondering how necessary that is. I had so much trouble spreading the dough in my foil lined 9x13 (I doubled the recipe). The foil was moving around so much and the dough wouldn't spread nicely- nearly drove me crazy trying to get it even!
These are excellent! Chewy and crispy and delicious!
Hey Frani! 🙂 25 minutes or so in a 9x13 pan if you are doubling it. I wouldn't double it and put it in one 8x8 pan though, you would have to use 2 8x8 pans, just in case you were wondering that. Thanks and hope you enjoy!
If I want to double ingredients,, is the cooking time still 30 min. Or is it going to have to cook longer??
Carmen, they were made to be fudgy and chewy. Just bake them longer, no need for more flour.
They do taste good but they are very fudge, need more flour.
I just use foil or parchment paper because I like to take the bars out of the pan by pulling the tin foil or parchment paper ends and then leaving them on it so I can cut nice even squares in stead of cutting it in the pan, but you don't have to use it if you don't want to, but you do have to use the non-stick spray. 🙂 Hope you enjoy! Happy Holidays!
Why use foil and no stick spray?
I'm so glad you enjoyed them Steph! Thanks so much and Happy Holidays!
That is soooo awesome Gail! Woohoo! Sounds like you might have more chilly weather this weekend. Stay warm and I love the idea of giving these. Easy to make and they're yummy like you said! 🙂 Thank you Gail for the rating! 🙂 Happy Holidays!
I was in the mood for something cinnamon today. It's a chilly day in Florida. I had all of the ingredients, so I figured "why not?" What I didn't expect, was the party in my mouth that just happened! These are exceptional!!! They might be my new favorite....and I am a seasoned baker. I was thinking about making baklava or assorted Italian cookies to give away this Christmas. Guess what! I'm giving these!!!
I'm so glad Mic! This is such a great recipe like you said for ingredients right in your pantry to make this! Thank you so much!
Soooo good! Doubled it used a 13x9 pan for 28 minutes and they were perfect... with ingredients always on hand is a plus!
I'm so glad you found it here! Thank you so much Gavin for commenting!
I was looking for a QUICK snickerdoodle substitute and found it. This is an AWESOME recipe. It's very similar to the wedding cake cookies with an egg added in. Impressive!!!
Cream of tartar makes them a little chewier and tangier. If you were to use it, I would use 1 teaspoon cream of tartar with 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. I haven't tried it with this recipe but I make snickerdoodles with them. I'm so happy everyone love them! Thanks so much for sharing and your rating! xo
I made these & my coworkers DEMOLISHED them!I was just wondering if cream of tartar would change the taste or texture much...I’ve never made regular snickerdoodles, so I’m just wondering!Thanks for this yummy, quick, & painless recipe!
I'm so glad you tried them!! I like making a double batch especially because of that reason you speak of! 🙂
Mada half a batch of cookie bars this week end ! I will NEVER repeat that kind of mistake again ! Gone in a flash of light ! Thank you for this delicacy !
Yes, just double recipe Cassandra! If you want to add cream of tartar feel free. Enjoy!
How can this be made into a 9×13? And add some cream of tartar
Thank you so much Amy! 🙂
You are so sweet!! *hugs* I really hope you enjoy them and enjoy your week as well!! 🙂
Dear Kim, snickerdoodle dessert is on my list for a long time because before I started blogging, I even did not know they exist. Holy Cow ! It seems to be the right time to do them. Will let you know how it worked. Promise. And, you know, I really enjoy your place: very comfortable 🙂 Enjoy the week end, dear !
These look absolutely addictive! I love the idea of making these into a thick bar. Yum!
So glad you enjoyed them Joceylyn. One of the things I do when I make them is cut them while they are still warm and then I put them in a ziplock bag right away. After sitting a 4 days in the ziplock, when I tried them, I noticed they stayed really moist and chewy. 🙂
Was craving dessert last night, didn't have much on hand but thought about snickerdoodles and didn't have cream of tartar. This was a great recipe in exchange!! So delicious. My significant other loved them too! They were great while still warm, and chewy which is our favorite. They got fairly hard overnight but I'm sure they'll be great warmed back up. Thank you for sharing!
Drop cookies and I have a love-hate thing--I love to make them but UGH dropping them onto baking sheets is too much sometimes. I love that these are so much quicker!
Yum!! I have made something similar and they are always a hit at parties!! Who doesn’t love snickerdoodles with the added benefit of not rolling 10,000 cookies in the topping hehehehe. Yum!! Pinned!
I love your description Lauren! Thank you so much!! xo
Just made these and they are the BOMBEST snickerdoodle bars ever!!! New favorite.
So glad you enjoyed them JC!! Awesome!!
I made these today! They were very easy to make and tasty!
I'm so glad you enjoyed she enjoyed them! Thank you so much for letting me know!! xo
I made these for a friend's house warming gift. These are so good, she absolutely loved them! 30 mins to bake is spot on, they came out perfect! Thanks for the great recipe!
What a great idea Alice! Perfect for the occasion! Happy Easter dear!!
Made these two weeks ago - had a serious sweet tooth and had all the ingredients. Family loved them. Now baking two batches for Easter Celebration.
Thank you Phyllis! I am so glad you enjoyed! 🙂 Happy 2018!
Thank you! Wonderful recipie. I will for sure double next time!
OH MY YUM!!!! So easy and SO good! I just baked a batch and sat down with a glass of milk! Made them for a friend and wanted a small batch so I wouldn't keep some and be tempted! You can bet next time I will double the recipie. Thank you!
Afton, you are soooo welcome and I'm so glad you loved them! Aren't they the best and easy!!?! Yes!!
I absolutely loved the way these turned out! Delicious taste and texture! Thank you. ??☺️
Yes, that will work! 🙂 Enjoy!
Making the bars this weekend in 9x13 pan---is baking time 22-25 minutes for doubling the recipe? Thank you !!!
22-25 minutes, but don't overbake for moist cookie bars! 🙂 Happy Baking!
Baking time for doubling recipe in 9x13 pan please!!
Josie, you use an 8x8 if you want to half it. (it's in the first line of the Instructions). I hope that helps, I hope you love them and don't overbake for the fudgy! Thanks so much for stopping by!
The drawback to telling me I can double the recipe and use a 9x13 means I have to guess the new baking time! Hopefully I'll figure it out on the first try;)
Can't wait to try these with my son! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Thanks Grace! 🙂
Another great recipe. Thanks for sharing it over at the linky party. Have a great week.
Hi Renee,
I thought so too, but tasting is believing and there are substitutions for Cream of Tartar if you don't have it. Cream of Tartar is an leavening agent. If cream of tartar is added, the taste won't change, but the texture would be a little less dense, and a a little more cake-like. Once you've made these, you won't want to go back to the cookie form. Hope you try them and judge for yourself! Happy Baking!
Snickerdoodles aren't Snickerdoodles without Cream of Tartar.
