Snickerdoodle Bars Recipe

Ingredients

• 340g (1.5 cups) unsalted butter, softened
• 300g (1.5 cups) granulated sugar
• 105g (1/2 cup) light brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 10ml (2 tsp) vanilla extract
• 480g (4 cups) all-purpose flour
• 2.5g (1/2 tsp) baking soda
• 10g (2 tsp) cream of tartar
• 2g (1/2 tsp) salt
• 10g (2 tsp) ground cinnamon

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

• 50g (1/4 cup) granulated sugar
• 5g (2 tsp) ground cinnamon

Cooking Time Total estimated time: 50 minutes

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking pan with parchment paper. This will make it easy to remove the bars once they’re baked.

Step 2: Make the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.

Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender bars.

Step 5: Prepare the Topping

In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and sugar for the topping. Set aside.

Step 6: Assemble and Bake

Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan using a spatula. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7: Cool and Serve

Allow the bars to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Use the parchment paper to lift them out and place on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into bars.
