I know there are quite a few Snickerdoodle Bar recipes out there but I slightly adapted this recipe form a magazine and I think it is perfection. The bars are not only buttery, thick and chewy with the classic slight tang from the cream of tartar, but they get enveloped in cinnamon and sugar by sprinkling it on the bottom, middle and top of the bars – so you have cinnamon and sugar through and through instead of just topping – although the topping is incredible. These Snickerdoodle Bars are so good, in fact, Patrick and I could not stay away. They stayed moist on the counter for a couple days and then they were seen no more. I think its time for another batch.
How to Make Snickerdoodle Bars
To make these Snickerdoodle Bars, you sprinkle some cinnamon and sugar on bottom of your baking dish. Next, top with half of the dough, then sprinkle with 3 more tablespoons cinnamon and sugar. Next, drop remaining dough by spoonfuls over the Cinnamon Sugar layer – it will be thick – which is why we melt butter, then dip our spatula in the melted butter in order to help it spread, and dip in butter again and again, mmmmmm….. Finally, shower top with remaining cinnamon and sugar and bake for about 30 minutes then let cool before slicing. The waiting with the wafting of cinnamon and sugar throughout your kitchen will be the most difficult part of making these no hassle, no fuss, Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars. Aside from the wonderfully buttery, soft and chewy texture of the bars themselves, my favorite part is the slight crystallized granule texture of the cinnamon and sugar topping. And my other favorite part is how much Patrick loves these bars. He is not effusive about every single recipe I make, as I cook ALL. THE. TIME. but he was in love with these bars. And you will be in love too. Just in time for Valentines. xo
Do Snickerdoodle Bars need to be refrigerated?
Snickerdoodle Bars or any cookie bars don’ need to be refrigerated unless they have a cream cheese frosting. These Snickerdoodle Bars can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for about one week.
Can I freeze Snickerdoodle Bars?
Yes! To freeze Snickerdoodle Bars:
Let bars cool completely before slicing. Line bars on a parchment/nonstick mat lined baking sheet without touching. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze until solid (about 1 hour), this prevents the bars from freezing together later when stored. Alternatively, you can skip this step and freeze bars individually in their own plastic bag. Transfer bars to a freezer size plastic bag, and place parchment paper in between each row. Freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, warm Snickerdoodle Bars in the microwave at 20 second intervals until warmed through.
