Dessert - Snickerdoodle Bars

Every year, I make my dad and Matt's stepdad some treats for father's day. This year, I attempted to make this Pretzel and Beer pie but it didn't turn out exactly as I envisioned. So, on father's day, I decided to make something else for the dads to give along with the pie. I needed a quick recipe that could be ready in under an hour and a half.

I again flipped through one of my Betty Crocker recipe card booklets and found this fantastic recipe for Snickerdoodle Bars. The bars taste almost like a cinnamon roll, especially since they are topped with a deliciously simple glaze icing. This recipe is definitely a keeper, and something we will make time and again. It is simple, takes basic ingredients, requires one pan for baking, and makes a nice number of servings!

So without further ado, here is the recipe for these tasty little guys! If you'd like a more printer friendly recipe, I will direct you to the Betty Crocker website for the Snickerdoodle Bars recipe.
