Week 12! Already. It seems like the weeks flew by. Make sure to check out what amazing goodies everyone made for the last week!

These snickerdoodle bars are fantastic. They came together really quickly, dirty very few dishes, and make the house smell amazing while they bake. These are a very sturdy bar so they would hold up really well in a goody bag or basket. I highly recommend these, they are by far one of my favorite things that I have made this year and I will be making them a lot next year too I imagine, they are just that good!

 

Snickerdoodle Bars

From: one ordinary day

Ingredients

2 2/3 Cup Flour

2 Teaspoons Baking Powder

1 Teaspoon Cinnamon

1 Teaspoon Salt

2 Cup Light Brown Sugar (packed)

1 Cup Butter (softened)

2 Eggs (at room temperature)

1 Tablespoon Vanilla

Topping:

2 Tablespoon Granulated Sugar

2 Teaspoon Cinnamon

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9x13 pan with no-stick spray.

Mix flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl.

Beat together the butter and brown sugar for 3 to 5 minutes. Then add the eggs one at a time and then add in the vanilla and beat until smooth.

Slowly stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture until well blended. Evenly spread the mixture into the pan.

Combine the topping ingredients and evenly sprinkle over the cookie batter.

Bake 25 to 35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean from the center. Allow to cool before cutting.

These blondies are a great thing to make for the holidays. They are easy to whip up – using very few ingredients and even fewer utensils – and they taste amazing. Definitely make these; they would be perfect on a dessert table.
