Snickerdoodle cookies used to be a staple in our house as my kids were growing up! We enjoyed making them together and then eating them as a family. Yummy!! One of my favorite things to do with my kids is to find new recipes and make them together. Not only does this help them learn how to cook but it’s so fun and delicious (most of the time)! These Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars are a delightful twist on the regular snickerdoodle cookie recipe. You just might find that you like these even more!

Hi Toni!
I started making this recipe and noticed it doesn’t state what size pan to use. The frosting ingredients doesn’t contain butter, but the frosting directions say to combine butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and heavy whipping cream. How much butter?
Toni - Design Dazzle says
I’m so glad you are making this. Sorry to reply so late. The ingredients list does state butter: ¾ c. unsalted sweet cream butter softened
We will add the pan size to the post – 9×13 baking dish.
Thank you for mentioning.
Dawn says
The recipe states butter for the cookies only but doesn’t list the amount of butter required for the frosting. I too started making this recipe but am unsure how much butter is required for the frosting.
Toni - Design Dazzle says
Sorry about that. Yes, the frosting uses 1 C unsalted sweet cream butter, softened
We’ll make sure to correct the recipe.
