If you’re a fan of snickerdoodle cookies, you’ll love these snickerdoodle bars! They have all the cinnamon-sugar goodness of the classic cookie, but in bar form. They’re also a bit easier to make than individual cookies, so they’re perfect for when you want a sweet treat but don’t feel like spending hours in the kitchen.
Gluten-Free & Vegan Snickerdoodle Bars
While snickerdoodle cookies are a classic favorite, making snickerdoodle bars offers a number of advantages over individual cookies. Here are a few reasons why you might choose snickerdoodle bars:
- Easier and quicker to make: With snickerdoodle bars, you can mix up one batch of dough and spread it into a baking pan, rather than having to portion out individual cookies onto multiple baking sheets. This can save time and effort in the kitchen, especially if you’re making a large batch.
- More consistent texture: Because the snickerdoodle dough is spread out evenly in a baking pan, you’re more likely to get consistent results in terms of texture and doneness. With individual cookies, you may have some that are slightly overcooked or undercooked, depending on their placement on the baking sheet.
- Easy to portion: When you cut snickerdoodle bars into squares, you can easily portion them out for serving, without having to worry about breaking or crumbling cookies. This makes them a great option for parties, potlucks, or other events where you need to serve a lot of people.
- Fun variation: Snickerdoodle bars offer a fun variation on the classic cookie, with a slightly different texture and presentation. They’re still packed with cinnamon-sugar flavor, but in a new and exciting way.

Snickerdoodle Cinnamon Sugar Topping
The topping for snickerdoodle is the perfect balance of cinnamon sugar to compliment the soft and sweet cookie, but less is more when it comes to the topping, especially for this recipe. Using a light hand to spread the sugar is key so that it bakes into the top of the cookies rather than taking a bite of just sugar.
