While I love Snickerdoodles, the rolling of balls and then rolling those balls in cinnamon can get, well…tedious. Enter the Snickerdoodle Cookie Bar! All the deliciousness of the Snickerdoodle without the work…let’s just go ahead and call them the Lazy Girl’s Snickerdoodle Cookie!

This Snickerdoodle Bars Recipe creates the classically moist treat that has the tang of Snickerdoodle (from the cream of tartar) and a ribbon of cinnamon. And while we are chatting cream of tartar …

What if I don’t have Cream of Tartar?

Yes, you can substitute baking powder for the cream of tartar and baking soda. In this recipe just use 1 1/2 tsp baking powder for the cream of tartar and baking soda combo. Just be certain that you don’t add the baking soda too! The end result will be more butter cookie bar flavored, but with a similar consistency.

Although this recipe has a lot of flavor it is very dry and over baked .

  Hi Helene,
  
  I am sorry your Snickerdoodle Bars were dry! I agree that that would be disheartening! I am not sure what to recommend as neither I nor other reviewers have had that problem! If you baked it for the appropriate time, the only thing I can think of is that possibly your oven temperature is off?

  Perhaps you used a 9x13 pan instead of an 8x8. That would cause them to overbake and dry out.
