  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon (for topping)
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a baking pan (8×8-inch or similar) or line it with parchment paper.

  • Mix the Dry Ingredients:
    In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

  • Cream the Butter and Sugar:
    In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

  • Add Wet Ingredients:
    Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

  • Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

  • Spread the Dough:
    Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan, ensuring the dough is spread out evenly.

  • Top with Cinnamon Sugar:
    In a small bowl, mix together the ground cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the dough.

  • Bake:
    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  • Cool and Cut:
    Allow the cookie bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares or bars.

  • Serve:
    Serve and enjoy your chewy snickerdoodle cookie bars!
