Snickerdoodle Bars

I wanted to make an easy snack that Doug would like - I decided to look for a Snickerdoodle Bar recipe.

Ingredients:

Dough:

• 332 grams (2 2/3 cups) all purpose flour (I used 100 gr whole wheat, rest all purpose)
  
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 214 gr (2 cups packed) brown sugar
• 2 sticks (1 cup) butter, room temperature
• 2 eggs, at room temperature
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  
  

Topping:

• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• pinch of nutmeg
  

 

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Lightly grease and/or line a 9×13 inch pan with parchment paper. 
2. Mix together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt  in a medium bowl and set aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat together butter and brown sugar for 3-5 minutes. 
4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla, and beat until smooth.
5. Stir in the flour mixture until it is a well blended thick dough.
   
6. Spread dough in prepared pan using a greased spatula or your wet hands. 
7. Mix the white sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a little bowl. 
8. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture over the top of the batter.
9. Bake 25-30 minutes or until the surface springs back when gently pressed. Cool before cutting.
