Yes, you read that right. No need to blink again a few times to clear your vision or clean your glasses. (haha) You read Snickerdoodle. Snickerdoodle bars for that matter. Do you remember those cookies?

I think the last time I had Snickerdoodle cookies was in high school. LONG time ago. (haha) But, to this day they are still so memorable. I came across this recipe for Snickerdoodle bars and just had to make them. Oh boy, was I glad I did.

These taste exactly how I remember them and since they are in a bar form, they are thicker, and you get so much more of that Snickerdoodle taste in each bite.

Ingredients needed:
- Butter (I used unsalted)
- granulated sugar
- eggs
- vanilla extract
- all-purpose flour
- cream of tartar
- baking soda
- salt
- cinnamon
Those ingredients are probably in your house right now so what are you waiting for. Here’s how to make them.
Step one:
Prep! Gather and measure all ingredients. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch pan.

Step two:
In a standing mixer bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla extract mixing well and scraping down the sides.

Step three:
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.

Step four:
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix to form a dough.

Step five:
Press the dough into the greased 9 x 13-inch pan. Use your fingertips to press and create an evenly distributed layer.

Step six:
Bake for 25 – 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and gently press the edges on the sides down to make the entire pan even. Use a spatula because it will be hot.

That’s all there is too it. Fast and easy. I really think once you make these you won’t want to go back to the cookie version again. These are like Snickerdoodle brownies. 😉
