Snickerdoodle Bars

My daughter and I felt like baking this afternoon and after a quick search on Pinterest, we found a recipe for these snickerdoodle bars. They came out quite good - soft and chewy, not too sweet....they really hit the spot!

This yummy, simple recipes comes from the blog Back for Seconds (isn't that the cutest name!?).

Here is her recipe word for word:

Cookie Bars:

• 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 cups brown sugar (packed)
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 2/3 cups all purpose flour

Topping:

• 1/8 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Directions

Step 1:
Preheat oven to 350 In a mixing bowl cream together the butter and sugar. Add the eggs, vanilla, and salt, and mix well. Add the baking powder and flour, a little at a time, and mix until incorporated. Spread into a greased 9x13" pan.
Step 2:
Mix together sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle evenly over cookie dough. Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the pan comes out with fudgy crumbs. Do not over bake. Let cool before cutting. Store tightly covered.
