Snickerdoodle Bars

Day 4 – Christmas Cookie Style

In case you missed yesterday’s ‘Day 3 Cookie’ post for Red Velvet Oreo Magic Bars, CLICK HERE! Today’s {NEW} cookie recipe is Snickerdoodle Bars.

Who doesn’t love a good Snickerdoodle cookie — or anything Cinnamon/Sugar combination. My husband is a huge fan of regular snickerdoodle cookies. So last year, I happen to make White Chocolate Chip Snickerdoodle Cookies. They were amazing. Soft, chewy and with the white chocolate chips, took it to a whole new level! See photo of the cookies towards the bottom of this post. Click on photo for a direct link to that particular recipe.

This year, I knew I had to make something similar to a Snickerdoodle, but with a new spin. How about Snickerdoodle Bars? MMMmmmm….so good. Definitely a unique spin if you want the traditional Snickerdoodle cookie, but in a bar form. Highly recommend!

As a reminder, all the posts I will be using the hashtag #25DaysCookieStyle. If you happen to make any of the cookie recipes, tag me on social media and use this hashtag. I’d love to see all of your holiday baking photos from your home!

Happy Baking!!
