Snickerdoodle Bars Recipe

I made these Snickerdoodle Bars for the first time a couple of years ago when my daughter was begging to bake. At 5, she had become quite the cook, always with us in the kitchen, wanting to crack the eggs, pour in the flour or stir the pot. I remember being her age and loving every minute of being in the kitchen, too. She may grow to take over the blog one day!

Scrolling back through some of my older recipes, I realized it’s been a while since I made these so I decided to revisit. I made a few minor changes and it resulted in an even better (if that’s even possible!) Snickerdoodle Cookie Bar. Just look at that crunchy cinnamon sugar topping!

How to Make Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars

The base of this recipe is similar to blondies, which are the texture and density of a brownie without the chocolate. I made a few adjustments to the original Snickerdoodle Cookie recipe to get them into bar form.

  1. I changed the sugar ratio, adding a little more brown sugar and a little less white sugar and also added baking powder to make them a little fluffier.
  2. Snickerdoodle cookies require rolling the dough into balls and then rolling each ball in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. The dough for these snickerdoodle bars is simply spread into a pan and covered (and I really do mean covered!) in cinnamon sugar which is how you get that crunchy top.
  3. Let them cool in the pan to set; they are a little chewy with a slight crunch from the buttery topping that’s so yummy.

These Snickerdoodle Bars are a dessert that I will be making over and over, and once you try them, I bet you will too!

What to do with leftovers

Just like brownies, these Snickerdoodle Bars should be kept in an airtight container. I like to add sheets of parchment paper or wax paper in between if I have to stack them to keep them from sticking to each other. Stored properly they will stay fresh about 4-5 days.

  • 3 eggs

    These are delicious! Soft, chewy, easy to make. I had to make a second batch the same day as most of the first batch was eaten before I even got them out of the pan!

    The recipe says bake 25 minutes. However, when I did that, a toothpick inserted in the middle had liquid batter on it! So, I gave it 5 more and they were perfect. (I did use Pamela’s Artisan Blend gluten-free flour.) Could you add an instruction about how the end product should appear, so you can tell when it’s done? Thanks!

    REVIEW: Very tasty and addictive! Much better the second day, when they develop a moist chewy quality. Family loved them! It will become our new staple.

      Sure, I can add something. The toothpick test is definitely the best indication. And baking time can vary among ovens, altitudes and weather. So glad you enjoyed them!

    I’m confused about the sugar ratio. You said add more brown sugar than white. How much of each sugar do you use?

      The ratio is correct in the recipe as stated. The original recipe had a different ratio (more white, less brown)
