Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars (Print Version)

Buttery cookie bars packed with cinnamon-sugar flavor and a classic snickerdoodle vibe. Great for potlucks, gatherings, or desserts anytime.

# Ingredients:

→ Cookie Batter

01 - 1 cup soft butter
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 2 teaspoons of baking powder
04 - 1 3/4 cups regular sugar
05 - 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
06 - 2 2/3 cups plain flour
07 - 1 teaspoon table salt

→ Sugar and Cinnamon Blend

08 - 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
09 - 2 tablespoons white sugar

# Steps:

01 - Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch pan to prevent sticking.
02 - Mix the flour, salt, and baking powder in a medium bowl. Stir until it's fully blended.
03 - In a large bowl, beat butter with sugar for a couple of minutes until it's fluffy and smooth.
04 - Add the eggs one by one, mixing well each time, and then stir in the vanilla.
05 - Slowly fold the flour combination into the butter mix. Don’t stir too much—just until everything’s together.
06 - Pour the batter into your prepped pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula so it bakes evenly.
07 - In a tiny bowl, mix the cinnamon with sugar. Sprinkle it evenly across the batter.
08 - Bake for 25-30 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the edges are golden and a toothpick comes out just a little crumby.
09 - Let the bars cool off completely in the pan first. Then you’re good to cut them and serve.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - Keep these goodies fresh by storing them in a sealed container for up to 5 days at room temp.
02 - Boost the taste by sprinkling in 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg with your sugar topping mix.
