Description
A straightforward recipe for soft, chewy snickerdoodle bars coated in cinnamon sugar.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 1/2 cups of sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- In a small bowl, mix the 1/4 cup of sugar and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon for the topping.
- Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top of the dough.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
- For a chewier bar, slightly underbake them.
- You can use parchment paper in the pan for easier removal after cooling.
