Chewy Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars are the ultimate sweet treat that combines the classic flavors of cinnamon and sugar in an easy-to-make bar form. Soft, chewy, and packed with a comforting taste, they are perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and sugar for the topping. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the dough.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bars cool completely in the baking dish before slicing into squares.

Notes

  • Gluten-Free: Swap the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Vegan: Substitute butter with dairy-free butter and egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water, mixed and let sit for 5 minutes).
  • Nutty: Add chopped walnuts or pecans for a crunch.
  • Frosted: Top with a light glaze or cream cheese frosting for an extra indulgent treat.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. Refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Reheating: Microwave for 10-15 seconds or warm in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 5 minutes.
