Chewy Snickerdoodle Bars taste just like the famous cookie only thicker, for a more filling bite. Powder sugar glaze is the icing on top!
Snickerdoodle bars is a fans’ dream! They are delish. For more Snickerdoodle Goodness you can try my Snickerdoodle Bread and Snickerdoodle Cookies!
Thick + delish
I LOVE Snickerdoodles and was super excited when my SIL made some Snickerdoodle Bars for a family gathering. The hubby was even more excited! He said they were just the right amount of sweet.
Well, I asked if she would share the recipe and she was happy to do so. I hope you like them as much as we did, they look DELISH, don’t they?!
They are thick and chewy with just the right amount of crunch. The secret ingredient in snickerdoodles is the cream of tartar, which works as a leavening agent in cookies, helping them rise and giving it a very specific and unique taste. A taste which I adore by the way!
making snickerdoodle bars
PREP. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray bottom of 9×13 pan. In a small bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
BATTER. In a large bowl beat butter until cream. Beat in sugars. Gradually beat eggs and vanilla until combined on low speed. Beat in dry ingredients until combined.
LAYER. Spoon ½ the batter into the pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle cinnamon/sugar mixture (1TB of each) evenly over batter. Spoon teaspoons of remaining batter evenly over cinnamon/sugar mixture.
BAKE. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
GLAZE. In a small bowl stir glaze ingredients (1 cup powdered sugar, 1-2 TB milk, ½ tsp. vanilla) until smooth and thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over bars. Enjoy!
Recipe Tips
Tips for easy baking:
- Line the pan with parchment paper for an even easier removal.
- Its easiest to drizzle the glaze with a baggie with a cut corner or with it dripping off a spoon.
STORE leftovers on the counter, tightly wrapped, for up to 3-5 days.
To FREEZE, let the bars cool completely and store in freezer safe containers for up to 3 months.

I would really like to make these but I can’t seem to find the recipe. Can you help me out? It’s not showing up on the page…or it could be user error.
Thanks!
It’s back. I had to edit it and it made it disappear. Sorry about that!
I made this recipe tonight and the bars are SO good! I used melted butter, which is my trick to make any bar recipe I make really gooey — a favorite in my household. These were a hit and I’ll be making them again. 🙂
YAY!!! So glad. I love to hear that a recipe was a success and a hit!! Thanks for leaving the comment! Have a great weekend! 😀

SO glad you liked them and the kids did too!! Hope you can come back for more craft and recipe inspiration. 🙂
These were terrific! I made them at home and they were gone quickly. I have another batch in the oven now to take to work tomorrow!
LOVE hearing that Alice!! I hope your co-workers enjoy them tomorrow. 🙂
Nice recipe. Thanks and Happy 4th!
Is there a way to adjust the Snickerdoodle Bread, Cookie and Bar recipes for diabetics? My daughters boyfriend and grandmother are both diabetic and would not be able to enjoy these and no one should have to miss out on the joy of Snickerdoodles
Do these tasted different than regular Snickerdoodle cookies since I make Snickerdoodles with Cream of Tartar and not baking powder. Just curious, they look really good just wondering about the difference. Thanks
Most Snickerdoodle recipes do include cream of tartar and these do taste a little different since they are bars but they still have that cinnamon/sugar delicious-ness!
OMG. These were delicious!:) Thanks for sharing!
Hi Heather! Thank you so much for stopping by, and I’m so happy you liked the recipe. 🙂
A frenchman in the kitchen !
What do you mean by ” TB ” sugar or cinnamon ?
TB is tablespoon 🙂 Hope you like them!
Everything looks good.
You are so cute and have a beautiful smile
This recipe was great, I doubled it and baked in a sheet pan and it worked very well. I added some cream cheese to the icing and it was even better!!
Perfect!! I am happy you liked them! Thank you!
The BEST! So delicious 🥰
