Snickerdoodle Bars
Chewy bars with cinnamon chips and a cinnamon sugar topping. A yummy update on classic snickerdoodle cookies.
Ingredients
Bars
- 1 cup butter
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 Tbsp vanilla
- 3 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp cream of tartar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- 1 cup cinnamon chips or butterscotch chips
Topping
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- dash nutmeg
Instructions
- Let butter soften to room temperature. Spray a 9x13 inch pan with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat your oven to 325°.
- Cream butter and brown sugar in a large bowl for 3 minutes. (I use a hand mixer, but you can use a Kitchenaid.) Add the eggs and vanilla and beat till smooth.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir into the dry ingredients with the cinnamon chips. Use a light touch to prevent tough bars.
- Press dough into prepared pan. Combine topping ingredients and sprinkle over the top of the dough.
- Bake at 325° for about 35-40 minutes, or just until the middle is barely set. For moist bars, don't overbake!
- Cool for at least 30 minutes and cut into squares.
Notes
- I have tried these with both cinnamon and butterscotch chips. Both varieties are fabulous!
- I’ve learned that they will not appear to be done in the middle, but will set up as they cool. Don’t overbake or they turn hard.
