Ingredients:
- 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups (315g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer for best results.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Press about two-thirds of the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon.
- Crumble the remaining one-third of the dough over the top of the pressed dough.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the crumbled dough.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 16 squares. Enjoy your Chewy Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars!
