Snickerdoodle Bars

This is a new family favorite. My mom has me making it for bunko parties and dinner parties, I even made it one night just to bring into work and surprise everyone because it was so easy.

My sister calls this "Cookie Crack" and after a few bites you will probably agree... It is so good and super easy, even though it looks (and tastes) gourmet.

I actually have a mixer while I'm here at home, but whisking quickly can be substituted for beating on high speed. ;)

The original recipe can be found at Jasey's Crazy Daisy.


Snickerdoodle Bars

Ingredients
2 1/3 cups flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

Cinnamon Filling
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon

Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
1-2 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray or grease the bottom only of a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl and set aside.

Beat butter on high speed until creamy. Beat in sugars. Gradually beat in eggs and vanilla until combined. Add dry ingredients and beat on low speed until combined.

Spoon half the batter into the pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle with Cinnamon Filling evenly over batter. Dollop teaspoons of remaining batter evenly over Cinnamon Filling. Gaps are okay, they let the filling peek through leaving a fun marbled look.

Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely, about 1 hour.

In a small bowl, stir glaze ingredients until smooth and thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over bars. Cut and enjoy!
