All I can say about this recipe is, MAKE IT! If you like snickerdoodles, you will LOVE these. I ran 3 1/2 miles this morning and walked 2 to pick up my boys from school. As I was eating my second snickerdoodle bar I was thinking, dang I just ruined what I did today. But they were so good, I didn’t even care. Have you heard the saying, “skinny and sad or happy and fat?” Well I chose to be happy and fat today. And these were worth every mile I ran! Trust me, they are absolutely delicious and loved by the whole family!

How to Make Snickerdoodle Bars:

  2. Mix together cinnamon filling: In large bowl, beat butter on high until creamy. Beat in sugars. Gradually beat in eggs and vanilla into sugar mixture until combined. In low speed, beat in dry ingredients until combined.

The Recipe Critic Pro Tip: 

I lined my pan with parchment paper before pressing down the dough. This will help the snickerdoodle bars not stick. I love that stuff!

Tips for Making Snickerdoodle Bars:

  • Baking glass: I use a metal baking dish, a glass one would be fine but the bars may need to bake for longer.
  • Storing snickerdoodle bars: It is best to store snickerdoodle bars in an airtight container or ziplock bag for up to 5 days.
