Categories     dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield about 16 bars

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick cooking spray
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray and line with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the long sides for lifting out the finished bars.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl with a handheld mixer), cream the butter with 1 cup of the granulated sugar and all of the brown sugar until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Scrape the bowl well with a rubber spatula, then add the eggs one at a time and mix on medium speed after each addition until well combined. Beat in the vanilla.
  • Add the flour, baking powder and salt and pulse until they start to combine, then scrape the bowl well and mix on low speed until the dough is uniformly combined.
  • Scoop the dough into the prepared pan and press into an even layer. Stir the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar with the cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the bars.
  • Bake until the edges are golden and the center is set, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Let cool completely in the pan, then run a small spatula around the edge. Use the parchment overhang to carefully lift the bars out of the pan. Cut into 16 equal bars.

For a bite of pure bliss, sink your teeth into this hybrid of coffee cake and a snickerdoodle cookie. Layers of rich batter, crumbly streusel, and a topping of crunchy cinnamon sugar add up to irresistible; cream of tartar lends a subtle tang and a nice chew. Better yet, the ingredients are pantry basics, so you can bake up a batch on demand.

Tips:

  • For a more intense cinnamon flavor in the crumb topping, combine cinnamon and granulated sugar, then sprinkle evenly over the shortbread crust.
  • To make slicing the snickerdoodle crumb bars easier, refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares.
  • If you don't have a pastry blender, you can use two forks to work the butter into the flour mixture for the shortbread crust.
  • Feel free to experiment with different spices, such as nutmeg or cardamom, in the crumb topping for a unique flavor twist.
