Snickerdoodle Soft & Chewy Cookie Bars

Soft, Chewy & Delicious Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars / Blondies | Quick & Easy to Make | craftycookingmama.com

This is for all you Snickerdoodle lovers 🙂

The past week or two have been a total bust.  Lots of baking but nothing to blog about.  Too sweet, too gooey, too crunchy, not enough of the flavor I was after…lots of nothing.  Lots of sweet nothings that still have to get eaten.  It’s been days and I don’t even want to think of a brownie or a chocolate chip.

Despite continuous failure, I still have the baking bug.  I decided I’d put the creativity aside and try something new to me but tried and true.  With no chocolate.  Yup, I said it.  No chocolate.  What has July done to me?

Browsing Pinterest, I found a Snickerdoodle Blondie recipe.  Seems everyone adores a Snickerdoodle but me.  On a plate of Christmas cookies, Snickerdoodles are one of the cookies I’ll push off to the side for someone else to deal with.  They’re a bit boring and off texture to me.  I prefer soft and chewy cookies loaded with chocolate chips, peanut butter, fruits or jams.

These blondies did look interesting though.  A scan of the comments confirmed people were loving these soft and chewy bars.  Sold.  I had to try them.

I”m so glad I did!  This was an easy treat made with basic, on hand ingredients that took just a few minutes to throw together.  I was impressed – this was the best Snickerdoodle anything I’ve ever had.  Soft, chewy, buttery, cinnamon – it was pretty good!  My family loved these bars – my husband requested a batch to take into work sometime soon.

So am I a Snickerdoodle convert?  Not quite yet.  I did enjoy these Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars and will make them and eat them again.  I look forward to baking a few batches of these around Christmas time for friends and family.  Thanks so much for stopping by!  Happy Baking!

    Amanda, you are speaking to my taste buds! I really do have to try these! They look wonderful! As much as I love chocolate, I try avoid baking with too much of it in the summertime (too messy!). So glad you tried these! Thanks for the recipe!

      Thanks so much Stephanie! I’m glad I tried them too – they definitely changed my opinion of snickerdoodles. As for baking with chocolate…can’t stop, won’t stop LOL 🙂

    The batter (if following directions exactly) is VERY thick. I couldn’t pour into a pan I had to scoop it out and press into the baking dish. The original Snickerdoodle recipe calls for Cream of Tarter. That makes a taste difference, seems like it was about a teaspoon.

    Update:

    Cooked for 30 minutes at 350 degrees and was NOT done. Cooked at 300 for an additional 20 minutes. And the taste test – this does NOT taste like Snickerdoodles. Very disappointed and I followed the directions totally. Will not make this again.

      Sorry the recipe didn’t work out for you.
      The batter should be VERY thick – I scraped it out of the bowl and patted/smoothed it down with a spatula.
      Snickerdoodle cookies do use cream of tartar. The cream of tartar is used for leavening, gives the cookie it’s texture and does add a tang to the cookie.
      These are cookie bars – they should have a chewy, blondie like texture. The snickerdoodle flavor is there, but not the texture. You could add a squeeze of lemon if you wanted to add a little zip to to the recipe.
      Not sure why the baking time didn’t work out for you…. I checked the original recipe and I didn’t notice anyone having problems with baking times?
