Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars

Hi there! It’s Kelly from Typically Simple and I have a super easy recipe to share with you all today! Snickerdoodles are one of my favorite cookies…okay, let’s face, all cookies are my favorite. But I love the faint cinnamon and chewy goodness of Snickerdoodles.

The thing is, whenever we made Snickerdoodle cookies from scratch, they always turned rock hard a few days later. It was quite frustrating and even though I would have liked to, eating a few dozen cookies in two days just wasn’t going to happen. So I tried making Snickerdoodle cookie bars and they turned out perfect!

1/4 tsp salt
1 large egg
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
