Coffee and Dessert - Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars

Growing up I always loved Snickerdoodle Cookies. These Snickerdoodle Cooke Bars are soft like the cookies from our childhood and packed with the cinnamon flavor we love! This simple recipe is made in a sheet pan and sliced into bars. It serves 24 so it is the perfect dessert for your summer gathering.

Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars
1 cup butter softened to room temperature
1 cup sugar
⅔ cup brown sugar
2 eggs
3 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups flour
½ tsp salt

Topping
½ cup sugar
4 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 10X15X1 pan with non-stick cooking spray and then line with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the butter and sugars together for 2-3 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla and mix for another 2-3 minutes. Add flour and salt and mix just until combined.
  3. Distribute the dough evenly in the prepared pan and use a knife to spread evenly to the edges.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and ground cinnamon together and sprinkle over the top of the dough. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let cool and then slice and serve.

We Do Have Some Control

We have all watched the news media sensationalizing the cost of living today. It seems as if they are trying to create havoc and fear. Although the price of the things we purchase have risen, the truth is we do have some control over how it effects our budget. We need to remember that the pandemic played a large role in the exorbitant increases we have seen on everyday items. The shortages that were created during this time allowed companies to charge much higher prices for what little was produced compared to normal manufacturing quantities. Plus, those who were out purchasing more than they needed and hoarding it also contributed to higher prices.

Each year time seems to pass more quickly, is this true or just an illusion? Spring turns to summer, then fall is here, with winter rushing quickly in.   I look in the mirror and see changes, and know that decades have passed.

They say that you are as young as you feel, which story will each new day bring? This year seven decades have come and gone,  this reality boggles the mind. I know that just yesterday the big 30 arrived, how could 40 more have slipped by? Take each decade in stride, cherish the time, for each one passes by more quickly. It will do no good to lament and worry, for that will only steal all of your joy. There will be time enough in years to come, to look back
