Description
These Snickerdoodle Bars taste just like the classic cookies we all love, but come together much more quickly and are topped with a delicious vanilla glaze!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cinnamon Filling
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
For the Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 to 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease a 9 by 13 inch baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter and sugars together on medium speed. Add eggs and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add in the flour mixture on low speed and mix until just incorporated.
- Spread about 2/3 of the dough into the prepared baking dish an even layer. This will take a bit of patience as the dough is sticky.
- Mix 1 tablespoon cinnamon and 1 tablespoon sugar together and sprinkle over the dough.
- Drop 1 teaspoon sized balls of the remaining dough all over the cinnamon sugar layer.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 22-23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- When the bars have cooled completely, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla together to make a glaze. Spoon the glaze into a plastic zip lock bag and cut one of the bottom corners off so you can pipe a circular design on top of the bars. You can also just drizzle it on with a fork.
