Snickerdoodle Bars with Cinnamon Icing
These Snickerdoodle Bars are everything you love about the classic cinnamon and sugar cookie. Baked in a sheet pan instead of individual cookie balls, these cookie bars are frosted with cinnamon icing before being sliced and served.
Snickerdoodles are known for their chewy centers and cinnamon-sugar topping. Baked in a 9 X 13-inch pan instead of being rolled, these snickerdoodle bars get a shower of cinnamon-sugar before heading into the oven.
Whether you are an edge or center person, you are going to love these cookies bars. The edges are crisp while the centers will melt in your mouth.
Baking the cookies as bars makes things so much faster. Instead of rolling individual cookie balls then tossing them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, press the dough into the pan and bake.
You can eat these plain (trust me, I had a whole batch this way!) or frost them with cinnamon icing for a levelled-up snickerdoodle bar
