These came out lovely. These are the perfect snickerdoodle bars! I halved the sugar topping and that was plenty for our tastes.

Still a favourite since I discovered the name and the cookie in Burlington,VT many years ago. Doing the bars for time saving issue. Love the extra yolk in that recipe. Thanks!

These are amazing! So much easier to make than regular snickerdoodles that have to be rolled individually. They have a wonderful, thick consistency and the flavor is spot on. I doubled the recipe and used a half baking sheet – cut the bake time to 13 minutes (since the bars were slightly thinner) and they were perfect. We made these for sharing in cookie boxes, but my son and I taste tested so many we will have to make another batch! SOOOOOO Yummy!

You would still use the gram measurement as written! Every baker weights things a little differently, and I write my recipes as 142 g per cup.

You can substitute the shortening with butter. The bars won’t be quite as chewy, but still delicious. The cream of tartar is part of the snickerdoodle flavor and also helps the bars rise.

Butter can be subbed! The bars will lose a little of their chewy center, but still be delicious.

I don’t know what shortening is unless it is animal fat which I don’t use. thanks!
