Minus the work of dragging out your mixer, chilling dough, or making individual cookies.
Instead it’s a one-bowl, no mixer recipe that comes together in minutes. Pour the easy-to-make batter into a pan and bake. No hassle, no fuss, and the bars are ready from start to finish in 30 minutes. The best kind of recipe.
I adapted the recipe from The Best Snickerdoodles and combined it with my trusty blondie base, a base I’ve used 30+ times over the years, and it always produces impressive results. The bars are wonderfully soft, extra chewy, buttery, and there’s a bit of tang courtesy of cream of tartar.
If you don’t routinely keep it on hand, the bars will still ‘turn out’, but they won’t have the signature snickerdoodle flavor and they’ll be flatter and denser. Before baking I generously sprinkled with cinnamon-sugar. It lends just the right amount of cinnamon flavor and a bit of texture from the sugar granules.
I’ve made Snickerdoodle Bars, Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Blondies, Snickerdoodle Bread and a half dozen other snickerdoodle-themed treats (linked below). But I loved the bars so much that I had to donate most of the pan to my daughter’s classmates or I would have eaten most of the batch myself.
