Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars have all the great, sweet taste of Perfect Snickerdoodle Cookies in a easy to prepare cookie bar. Topped with cinnamon sugar mixture, these bars have all the deliciousness of a snickerdoodle cookie.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted and cool (can substitute the same amount of unsalted butter, melted and cooled for a traditional option)
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Cinnamon-Sugar Topping
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground Saigon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Grease and line an 8 x 8 inch square baking pan with a sheet of parchment paper long enough so that the flaps fold down the sides of the pan.
- Combine the 3 tablespoons of sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat coconut oil, 1 cup sugar, baking soda and cream of tartar, scraping down the sides of the bowl, as needed. Add egg and vanilla extract and beat until combined. Add flour in gradually, scraping down the sides as needed. The dough will be sticky and you might need to stir in the remaining flour.
- Press the dough into the prepared baking pan, sprinkle the top evenly with the prepared cinnamon-sugar mixture. Bake for 10-12 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a knife into the middle, the knife should come out clean. When it's done, allow to cool for 5-10 minutes in the pan. You can transfer to a wire rack using the parchment paper to pull it out of the baking pan. Cut into 9 squares (or smaller). Enjoy!
