Why Make Snickerdoodle Bars?

Time and ENERGY! Or at least for me it’s time. I can get a WHOLE batch of cookies done in one fell swoop. I love making cookies but sometimes I just need to get them done. Especially for those late “oops I need cookies” moments.

We all have those right? I used to have them a lot more than I do these days, my kids are older now so my call for quick cookies isn’t nearly so dire!

What DO I Need to Make Bar Cookies

  • the MOST important thing you NEED to have for making THIS cookie bar recipe is an 8X8 square baking pan, at least for THIS recipe it is, other recipes may be different
  • parchment paper OR foil to lift the cookie out of the pan
  • usually, you’ll need softened butter
  • a stand mixer OR hand mixer makes cookie making easier
