Cinnamon Chip Snickerdoodle Bars

Updates in Italics: We found my Mom’s old Snickerdoodle recipe and adjusted the amounts to fit a half-sheet rimmed baking sheet 13 x 9 x 2″ baking pan.  To amplify the cinnamon flavor, we decided to add cinnamon chips.  We divided the dough, spread half in the pan, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and dolloped on the rest of the dough 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. (Now the batter amount is adjusted and fits perfectly in a 13 x 9 x 2″ pan!) We let them cool, then cut them into 48 24 squares.  My tasting panel, Sam, her friend Grace and my other daughter Lauren, gave them a unanimous two thumbs up! They make a great dessert and are delicious with your morning coffee too!  We hope you will love them too!

Homemade Cinnamon Baking Chips

Hershey’s Cinnamon Chips

I’ve tried 3 Different types of Cinnamon Chips in this Recipe:

1. Homemade Cinnamon Baking Chips!  So easy & delicious!  Why haven’t I made these sooner!
2. King Arthur Flour had discontinued their long favorite mini cinnamon chips.  The new Cinnamon Sweet Bits are the replacement – I hear they are very good.  I just ordered some to try them out.  I do like the ingredient list on these cinnamon bits (real cinnamon!)
3. The Hershey’s Cinnamon Chips are very handy as they are available at many grocery stores.

The Snickerdoodle Cookie Dough:

Cream together butter and sugar until fluffy and lighter in color

Add the eggs to the batter one at a time, then mix in flour mixture and cinnamon chips

Prepare Pan & Bake:

I like to line my bar cookie 9 x 13 x 2-inch pans with a foil or parchment sling.  When the bars are cool, you can lift the whole slab to a cutting board and cut nice neat squares. I spray the pan and the sling with baking spray and use metal binder clips to hold the parchment in place.

Spread two-thirds of the Cinnamon Chip Snickerdoodle Bar dough in pan and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar

Mmm!

Add dollops of the remaining Cinnamon Chip Snickerdoodle Dough and they’re ready to bake!

Thank you for spending some time in the cloud with me!  I hope you enjoy the recipe.  Tina ( :

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Grease 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan or spray with non-stick spray. If desired fit pan with a parchment or foil sling and spray that too. (helps with easy removal and cutting of bars once cool)
2. Whisk together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt in small bowl.
3. Cream together butter and sugar in large mixing bowl until fluffy and lighter in color. I use a hand or stand mixer and cream for several minutes.  Add vanilla and eggs, one at a time, and mix until combined.
4. Gradually add in flour mixture.
5. Stir in the cinnamon chips.
6. Spread two-thirds of the cookie dough in prepared pan. I find it easiest to do this with a greased spatula or greased fingers as the dough is sticky. Then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Add the rest of the dough in dollops on top of the cinnamon sugar
7. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until set and slightly golden brown.
8. Cool about 10 minutes in pan on wire rack.

Glaze:

1. While bars are cooling, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla and 1 tablespoon milk. Add more milk to reach desired texture.
2. Drizzle glaze over still warm bars. Cool completely in pan. (If using sling, lift cooled bars to cutting board) and cut into 24 squares.
