    Doesn’t everybody love an old fashioned Snickerdoodle.  The crispy cookie with cinnamon and sugar on top is a classic.  I wouldn’t go so far as to say that Snickerdoodle Bars will replace these awesome cookies but they’re a delicious take on them.  You will basically make the Snickerdoodle cookie dough, cream of tartar and all. However, you will leave out the crisco, and replace it with butter.  The cookie dough goes on the bottom of the pan.

    To make your filling gooey, you’ll use some honey and spread the mixture on top of the cookie dough.  Next sprinkle on the cinnamon sugar topping and then bake.  Be prepared for that wonderful cinnamon smell! These are a little richer than the standard cookie but fun to make and a crowd pleaser.

    They would be a little too sticky for a bake sale, but perfect for guests at a party or for an afternoon treat.

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 350º. Line a 9 x 13 cake pan with parchment paper or butter the pan.
    • COOKIE:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, soda and salt. With an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, add eggs and milk and beat until combined. Add dry ingredients and beat until just combined. Spread into the prepared pan in an even layer, using an offset spatula or knife to even it out.
    • FILLING:
    • In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, milk and vanilla. With an electric mixer, cream butter, sugar and salt until light and fluffy. Add egg and beat until combined. Add ⅓ of the flour mixture and mix, then add ½ of the honey mixture and mix. Repeat until flour has been incorporated. Spread over the cookie layer and even it out with an offset spatula or knife.
    • TOPPING:
    • Combine cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle over the top.
    • Bake for 25-30 minutes until they have browned on top. The filling will be a little jiggly. Let cool completely before cutting.
