It’s no secret that we are huge dessert fans around here. Every night after supper, I get a yearning for something sweet, and nothing beats a baked good. Dessert options include cookies, cakes, brownies, and bars. I do not discriminate. And when I need a treat but don’t want to spend the entire night baking, this is one of the recipes I use! These Snickerdoodle Bars are basically a one-bowl recipe.

All it takes is to combine everything and then top with the famous cinnamon sugar mixture that has us all addicted.From start to finish, they will take you less than 40 minutes. That may feel like an eternity when your home is filled with the heavenly sweetness of baked cinnamon bliss. While the original snickerdoodle cookie will always hold a special place in my heart, the simplicity of bars has recently piqued my interest.

Instead of spooning out each cookie dough ball and rolling it in the cinnamon sugar mixture, I can simply press the entire dough onto the pan, sprinkle with the topping, and call it a day.And, as someone who prefers really soft cookies, I’m all with the chewy middle pieces. Fortunately, I have family members who are on team crunchy and are willing to take those edge slices off my hands. Whatever team you’re on, you can’t go wrong with the incredibly buttery and sweet flavor these bars provide!

The amount of sugar in the topping may appear excessive at first, but don’t worry; the dough will absorb most of it, leaving you with the perfect golden sweet layer. Try this recipe the next time you want a quick sweet treat. I believe your family will adore these as much as mine did!
