Snickerdoodle Bars have the same traditional flavors as those sweet cinnamon sugar cookies but are easier to make and come out soft and chewy every time.

Who else loves snickerdoodle cookies but hates the thought of having to roll each one in cinnamon and sugar? That’s why I decided to turn them into cookie bars!

If you’ve never made cookie bars before they are so simple! They turn out exactly like cookies except the dough goes in a pan and you simply slice once you are done! The prep work is so minimal and can literally be thrown together in just a few minutes!

Some recipes may tell you that it’s impossible to make the perfect snickerdoodle without cream of tartar, but I beg to differ. Here are 11 of the Most Delicious Snickerdoodle Cookies without Cream Of Tartar, and this recipe doesn’t require it either!

Instead, we are using baking soda as the leavening agent and Greek yogurt to give them some tang so they don’t end up as just cinnamon cookies.

Storing and Freezing Instructions

Keep leftover snickerdoodle bars in the refrigerator for up to a week.

To freeze, once the bars have cooled and been sliced, place them on a baking sheet into the freezer. After about 1 hour, transfer the bars to freezer bags or containers and freeze for up to 2 months.

Thaw at room temperature or in the fridge overnight. You can also warm the bars in the microwave for about 20 seconds if you just can’t wait.
