::Snickerdoodle Bars::

So, snickerdoodles are probably my favorite cookie and every now and again...I'm in the mood for some, but the work of making them totally takes away any craving I might have. So...I found this recipe from the classic Betty Crocker and figured it was worth a shot. Delicious! I especially like not having to hunt through my cabinet to find the cream of tartar that I keep around only for snickerdoodles.

Ingredients:

Bars:

2 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

1 1/4 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

3/4 cup butter or margarine, softened

1 1/4 cups granulated sugar

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

3 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

Cinnamon Filling:

1 Tbsp granulated sugar

1 Tbsp cinnamon

Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

1 to 2 Tbsp milk

1/4 tsp vanilla

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray or grease bottom only of 13x9-inch baking pan with cooking spray. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.

2. In large bowl, beat butter with electric mixer on high speed until creamy. Beat in sugars. Gradually beat eggs and vanilla into sugar mixture until combined. On low speed, beat in dry ingredients until combined.

3. Spoon half the batter into pan; spread evenly. Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over batter.

4. Dollop teaspoons of remaining batter evenly over cinnamon-sugar mixture.

5. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely, about 1 hour.

6. In small bowl, stir glaze ingredients until smooth and thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over bars. Cut into desired bar size and enjoy!
