All I can say about this recipe is, MAKE IT! If you like snickerdoodles, you will LOVE these. I ran 3 1/2 miles this morning and walked 2 to pick up my boys from school. As I was eating my second snickerdoodle bar I was thinking, dang I just ruined what I did today. But they were so good, I didn’t even care. Have you heard the saying, “skinny and sad or happy and fat?” Well I chose to be happy and fat today. And these were worth every mile I ran! Trust me, they are absolutely delicious and loved by the whole family!

The Recipe Critic Pro Tip: 

I lined my pan with parchment paper before pressing down the dough. This will help the snickerdoodle bars not stick. I love that stuff!

Tips for Making Snickerdoodle Bars:

  • Baking glass: I use a metal baking dish, a glass one would be fine but the bars may need to bake for longer.
  • Storing snickerdoodle bars: It is best to store snickerdoodle bars in an airtight container or ziplock bag for up to 5 days.
