Ingredients: The Cast of Characters
This recipe uses simple pantry staples to create something truly special.
For the Cookie Bar Dough:
· 1 ½ cups (188g) all-purpose flour – The foundation, providing structure.
· 1 tsp baking powder – Our leavening agent, helping the bars rise and become tender.
· ½ tsp cream of tartar – The secret ingredient. This gives snickerdoodles their signature tangy flavor and helps create a chewy texture.
· ½ tsp salt – To balance the sweetness and enhance all the flavors.
· ½ cup (1 stick / 113g) unsalted butter, softened – For richness, flavor, and that perfect melt-in-your-mouth texture.
· ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar – Adds sweetness and helps with browning.
· 1 large egg – Binds the ingredients together and adds moisture.
· 1 tsp vanilla extract – For warmth and depth of flavor.
For the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping:
· ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
· 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
