Notes
- We baked these snickerdoodle bars for 24 minutes.
- After baking, try sprinkling some powdered sugar on top of the bars while they are still in the pan.
- Or for something extra, drizzle some icing on top of the bars after baking.
- Make cookie shapes instead and bake on a cookie sheet. The baking time would have to be adjusted.
