BEST AND SPECIAL SNICKERDOODLE BARS

TOP REVIEWS:

I followed the recipe to the letter and it turned out like snickerdoodle cookies except it didn’t fall like the cookies do. This recipe is moist and buttery and makes allot a bars. We enjoy this tremendously and will certainly make it again. I was raised on Snickerdoodles and this is so much easier than baking batches of cookies. It does need to bake about 8-10 minutes longer.

I made these for our Kids n Christ wednesdays . I love’em, but we will see how the kids like them. I had to use margarine and I did put brown sugar on top. I also placed saran wrap over the dough and Rolled it into the pan. A little difficult but still easier then using my hands.

These were delicious! I followed everything, except that I added two teaspoons of cocoa powder for personal preference, and baked for about 25 minutes. But they were fluffy and tasty. 🙂

I used butter due to lacking shortening. While this is certainly not a cookie bar, it makes an excellent, if somewhat short, cake. I thought it would turn out eggy and custard-like. Going with the cake angle, I would prefer a more pronounced cinnamon taste, and so, next time I make this, I intend to add 8 tsp cinnamon to the sugar to make cinnamon sugar and make a cinnamon streusel topping with nuts, baking the topping on top. I also will add vanilla extract.

For those of you who thought it was bland – ADD MORE SALT! A pinch is not enough in any baking recipe. Salt is great for bringing out flavors. I used 1/2 tsp salt and this Snickerdoodle CAKE was delicious.

Not sure how to rate these…. I was wanting a bar type cookie, but instead, this is a coffee CAKE!!! These are NOT BARS!! (I was really wanting bars) That said… it was a very moist and delicious cake. The first time I made these, I put cinnamon in the batter, but I prefer a white cake, so the next time I made these, I left the cinn out of the batter and made a topping of sugar, cinn, nutmeg, walnuts and finely shredded coconut. It turned out delish! Also, in a 9×13 pan, the cook time is longer than the stated 10-15 minutes. I believe mine took about half an hour.. but I can’t remember… I just took it out when the toothpick inserted in center came out clean.
