Snickerdoodle Bars

Ok...this is a new one for me. I wanted to have cookies but I didn't want to scoop and wait, so I was looking in the bar section at bettycrocker.com (got to LOVE that site!) and found this little doosie and thought that I would give it a try. YUMMY! It was a way simple recipe and it tasted like a cross between snickerdoodles and cinnamon rolls. I mean, c'mon...how could that be bad.

(I will remind you once again that my photos are by no means professional...what you see is what you get!)

CookieBar

2 1/3

cups Gold Medal® all-purpose flour

1 1/4

teaspoons baking powder

1/2

teaspoon salt

3/4

cup butter or margarine, softened

1 1/4

cups granulated sugar

1/2

cup packed brown sugar

3

eggs

1

teaspoon vanilla

 

Cinnamon Filling

1

tablespoon granulated sugar

1

tablespoon cinnamon

 

Glaze

1

cup powdered sugar

1

to 2 tablespoons milk

1/4

teaspoon vanilla 

1. Heat oven to 350° F. Spray or grease bottom only of a 13x9-inch baking pan with cooking spray. In small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
2. (helpful hint: if you have a scale, measure the bowl before you make the dough. That way when you are trying to get half the dough in the pan you just have to measure the weight with the dough and subtract the weight of just the bowl)  In large bowl, beat butter with electric mixer on high speed until creamy. Beat in sugars. Gradually beat in eggs and vanilla into sugar mixture until combined. On low speed, beat in dry ingredients until combined.
3. (See helpful hint) Spoon half the batter into pan; spread evenly. Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over batter.
4. Dollop teaspoon size amounts of remaining batter evenly over cinnamon-sugar mixture.
5. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
6. In small bowl, stir glaze ingredients until smooth and thin enough to drizzle. (helpful hint: use a fork to drizzle) Drizzle over bars. For bars, cut into 6 rows by 4 rows.
