Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars—A Truly Heavenly Comfort Food

We are huge dessert lovers. It is no secret. After-dinner sweet cravings are common and there is no better way to satisfy them than with a baked good. Cookies, cakes, brownies, bars… I don’t discriminate. This is my go-to recipe when I need a sweet treat but don’t want to bake. This Snickerdoodle Bar recipe is a simple one-bowl dish. It takes just a few minutes to mix everything together and then top it with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
