Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars

Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars are a delightful twist on the classic snickerdoodle cookie, featuring a soft and chewy texture with a sweet cinnamon-sugar topping.

They’re not heavy or overly sweet either. I think they’re perfect for any occasion, and if you’re not a fan of cinnamon, feel free to omit it. It will still be undeniably delicious! If you’re looking for a light & airy dessert that’s not overly sweet, you’ve come to the right place. When you make a soft and chewy cookie bar and pair it with a sweet cinnamon-sugar topping, you get the perfect treat. The addition of cinnamon just sends it over the top. I’ve really been in the mood for a cozy, comforting dessert, and these dreamy cookie bars remind me of warm, cozy days. Not a fan of cinnamon? Don’t worry, it’s still delicious without it.
