Ingredients

For Cookie Bars:

2 sticks (266 grams) unsalted butter softened
1 ½ cup (298 grams) granulated sugar
2 large (100 grams) eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ¾ cups (330 grams) all purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

For Topping:

2 tablespoons (25 grams) granulated sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

For Cookie Bars:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees (F). Spray a 9x13 pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
In a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs and vanilla. Beat to combine.
Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk to combine.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Press the cookie dough into the prepared pan.
Combine the cinnamon and sugar for the topping in a small bowl.
Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the cookie dough.
Bake the cookie bars for 22-25 minutes. Bake for 5 minutes longer if you don't want the cookie bars to be as gooey.
Remove the snickerdoodle cookie bars from the oven and allow them to cool.

Notes

Don’t use cold ingredients. Ensure that all of your cold ingredients are at room temperature before making your cookie bars. The ingredients will combine much easier and you won’t have chunks of cold butter in your cookie dough, which can lead to greasy cookie bars.
