SNICKERDOODLE COOKIE BARS — Classic cinnamon snickerdoodle flavors in an easy to make, time-saving bar cookie form.
Anytime I can take one of my favorite cookies and make it in bar cookie form, I’m a happy baker. And after trying these Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars, I may never bake traditional snickerdoodles again.
Aside from classic chocolate chip, snickerdoodles really are one of my all time favorites. And these cinnamon and sugar cookie bars give you all that snickerdoodle flavor in a time-saving cookie bar format.
If you love snickerdoodles like I do, you’ll definitely want to give these a try!
With a buttery cinnamon swirl and a powdered sugar glaze, there is so much to love about these soft and chewy bar cookies.
And of course there’s cream of tartar too. It’s what gives snickerdoodles their unique flavor.
With a glass of cold milk, these cookie bars are perfect for after-school or late night snacking. Or possibly for breakfast–I mean, if cinnamon rolls are acceptable breakfast food, why not cinnamon infused baked goods of all kinds?
Of course, the best think about bar cookies is that you don’t have to spend all that time scooping and baking.
So if you’re craving a snickerdoodle-like treat but are short on time, these cookie bars are a must try. Even if you have all the time in the world, they’re a must try!
My family love these cookie bars! They didn’t last long at my house, which is my family’s way of telling me that I need to add a recipe to my permanent rotation.
You’ll want to make these snickerdoodle bars year-round, but they’re definitely a perfect addition to your fall baking line-up!

I just bought some duck eggs and wanted to try them out – this recipe was perfect for that. They were the perfect texture between a bar and a cookie, and I definitely had to freeze them or they would be gone by now 🙂
