EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Some bars are especially suitable for picnics and packing for traveling and this is one of them. Bars with soft frostings should be avoided because the frosting may melt. Cut into bars, and pack between sheets of waxed paper in sealed plastic food containers. For optimum packing, wrap each individual brownie or bar cookie in plastic wrap.

The inspiration for these bars comes from the classic snickerdoodle cookie, a favorite butter cookie coated in cinnamon and sugar.

If desired, sprinkle 1/3 cup cinnamon chips or chopped toasted pecans over cinnamon-sugar filling in center of bars.

This turned out like it was supposed to. Very easy. However, I like snickerdoodle cookies better than the bars. They come out better and the cinnamon and sugar is more spread out. This recipe the cinnamon and sugar was in the middle and didn't get throughout the whole dessert. Also, a little too much like cake or a brownie type of deal. I also make my snickerdoodle cookies with cream of tartar and they are so very soft and I can put as much cinnamon and sugar on top of them as I like. Don't get me wrong this is a good recipe if you like bars. I didn't in this case. Chocolate chip heck yeah but not snickerdoodle.

These are really good and easy to make. I'm not a big fan of powdered sugar, so I used canned frosting instead, softening it in the microwave and then drizzling over the bars.
