Amazingly tender cookie squares topped with a crunchy cinnamon-sugar coating. The classic snickerdoodle taste in a convenient, no-fuss bar format!

# What You'll Need:

01 - 1 1/2 cups regular flour

02 - 1 tsp baking powder

03 - 1/2 tsp salt

04 - 1/2 cup soft butter, unsalted

05 - 1 cup white sugar

06 - 1 large egg

07 - 1 tsp vanilla flavor

08 - 2 tsp cinnamon powder

09 - 2 tbsp white sugar

01 - Get your oven hot at 350°F (180°C). Butter your baking dish (8×8-inch works great) or put down some parchment.

02 - Throw the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Put it aside for now.

03 - Take another bowl and beat the soft butter with sugar until it's puffy and pale.

04 - Drop in the egg and vanilla, then stir until everything's mixed up good.

05 - Slowly pour the dry stuff into the butter mix, stirring until you've got nice dough.

06 - Push the dough flat across your pan, making sure it's spread out all the way to the edges.

07 - Mix up the cinnamon and 2 tablespoons sugar in a little cup. Dust it all over your dough.

08 - Stick it in your hot oven for 25-30 minutes. It's done when the sides turn golden and a toothpick comes out clean from the middle.

09 - Wait until it's totally cool before you cut it into squares.

01 - Keeps fresh for 4-5 days when stored in a sealed container

02 - Try adding a tiny bit of cream of tartar for that classic snickerdoodle taste

03 - Perfect for school fundraisers, Christmas parties, or coffee breaks
