I’m sure you know how this goes…
“Mom, I need to bring a _______ to _______ tomorrow! Can we make something?”
Whenever this happens, I always think first to make brownies or bar cookies. They are easy to mix together, spread in the pan, bake and cut.
So I asked my daughter Sam what kind of bar cookie we should make. She suggested a snickerdoodle bar cookie! Hmm, I’d never thought of making snickerdoodles in bar form. Sounds like a delicious idea!
My Mom’s snickerdoodle recipe card.
We found my Mom’s old Snickerdoodle recipe and adjusted the amounts to fit a half-sheet rimmed baking sheet pan. To amplify the cinnamon flavor, we decided to add cinnamon chips. We sprinkled the dough with cinnamon sugar before they were baked to mimic how snicker doodle cookies are rolled in cinnamon sugar. They puffed up, coming precariously close to the edge of the pan, before they flattened out. We let them cool, then cut them into 48 squares. My tasting panel, Sam, her friend Grace and my other daughter Lauren, gave them a unanimous two thumbs up! We hope you will love them too!
Cinnamon Chips:
I love the King Arthur Flour cinnamon chips. The ingredient list isn’t a mile long with artificial flavors and colors. But, you have to mail order them (unless you’re lucky enough to live near their VT store). I order them when they have a sale and freeze them. The Hershey’s cinnamon chips are very handy as they are available at many grocery stores. I have used both.
The Dough:
Cream the butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Mix in the dry ingredients. Stir in the cinnamon chips.
Spread & Sprinkle:
Spread in pan and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
Thank you for spending some time in the cloud with me! I hope you enjoy the recipe. Tina ( :

Hi Tina – I love this idea, but most of all I love the picture of the old handwritten recipe. I have several from my mother and they are so precious to me.
Old family recipe cards are very special Helen – you are so right! I should probably scan them all to preserve them!
Have a great week!
