Snickerdoodle Bars

If you love the idea of thick and chewy cinnamon cookies, these snickerdoodle bars are for you! They are so soft and full of cinnamon flavor – I couldn’t believe how good they were! I made these for our family Easter celebration and everyone who tried them absolutely loved them. The recipe is basically a blondie recipe with some cinnamon added to the batter. The best part, though, is the cinnamon sugar topping sprinkled over the whole thing. It really gives these bars a snickerdoodle flavor. The snickerdoodle topping and the wonderful thick and chewy texture make these cookies ones you don’t want to miss.
