Snickerdoodle Bars
Everybody loves a classic snickerdoodle and these bars are no exception. Classic snickerdoodle flavor in a quick and easy bar. I love bars as opposed to cookies sometimes, because they are so easy, no scooping and baking pan after pan of cookies. If I bake cookies, I have to stay in the kitchen or I burn them. I am very easily distracted. I was thinking the other day, if I had a buzzer that went off every time I got distracted or forgot what I was doing, maybe I could get more accomplished. Of course then I would be rich too, right, if I was an inventor? Well I reckon I will stick to cooking. Bars are easy to pack in lunches and for picnics. Did you know I used to pack lunches for cowboys and farm hands everyday? I always tried to be creative and have lots of variety. This was one of my favorites and still is. By the way, I am hosting a giveaway for my Flour Sack Towels over at In Sock Monkey Slippers, where Meredith whips up some fantastic recipes! Check out her blog and enter, you could be the winner!
