OK, these bars…you guys…they’re completely scrumptious. They’re mainly a Snickerdoodle if you don’t really feel like baking a number of batches of cookies! So mainly a lazy snickerdoodle!
As a substitute of scooping cookie dough, rolling it within the cinnamon sugar and baking them in batches you are able to do it multi function 9×13 pan, reducing your lively prep time in half!

However I’ve been advised by a variety of the Snickerdoodle police right here on the web if the recipe doesn’t include cream of tartar they will’t really be known as Snickerdoodles. I don’t purchase into that logic, however I’m simply telling you what folks prefer to say…

So to appease the Snickerdoodle traditionalists I’m right here to let you recognize you CAN add 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar + 1 teaspoon of baking soda as a substitute of the baking powder. Outcomes would be the identical, although. I promise.
