Snickerdoodle Bars Are Your Favorite Classic Cookie In A Chewy Bar!

OK, these bars…you guys…they’re absolutely delicious. They’re basically a Snickerdoodle when you don’t feel like baking multiple batches of cookies! So basically a lazy snickerdoodle!

Instead of scooping cookie dough, rolling it in the cinnamon sugar and baking them in batches you can do it all in one 9×13 pan, cutting your active prep time in half! I haven’t cured cancer over here, but I feel like I’m solving problems and being useful…at least in the world of cookie baking. Trying to do my part.

Do These Bars Taste Different Than A Snickerdoodle Cookie?

Kind of but not really…here’s the deal…they’re bars not cookies. So you have a thick, uniform, rectangular shaped cookie that has been cut into pieces…so no crispy edges and soft centers. I mean the juxtaposition in textures is basically what gives a cookie its magic, I get it.

But with Snickerdoodle Bars you have a thick, chewy bar that is soft and melty with a slight crunch on top, thanks to the cinnamon sugar. Of course, you do have the edge pieces in the pan, so if you are after that chewy, crunchy edge, you’re still all set! Heck, you could even use THIS pan.

Why Don’t These Bars Have Cream of Tartar?

Since these bars have 2 teaspoons of baking powder in them you don’t need the cream of tartar. But I’ve been told by a lot of the Snickerdoodle police here on the internet if the recipe doesn’t contain cream of tartar they can’t actually be called Snickerdoodles. I don’t buy into that logic, but I’m just telling you what people like to say…

FYI baking powder is sodium bicarbonate + acid. which is the same as a combo of baking soda and cream of tartar.

So to appease the Snickerdoodle traditionalists I’m here to let you know you CAN add 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar + 1 teaspoon of baking soda instead of the baking powder. Results will be the same, though. I promise.

Can I Freeze These Snickerdoodle Bars?

Absolutely. These cookie bars freeze beautifully! Here’s how:

  1. Cut them and let them cool completely.
  2. Stack them in a large airtight container, separating the layers with a piece of parchment paper.
  3. Freeze for up to a month.
  4. Allow the bars to thaw at room temperature.
