Snickerdoodle Bars

I love snickerdoodles!!!! A friend of mine gave me this recipe for snickerdoodle bars. I immediately had to try it out. You can try adding some extra cinnamon to the dough for extra flavor if you like. Enjoy!

1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 large egg
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tbsp sugar + 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 8×8-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. (You can double this recipe and use a 9x13 baking dish)
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light. Beat in salt, egg and vanilla extract until well combined. Add in flour and stir until no streaks of dry ingredients remain. Pour dough – it will be thick – into prepared baking dish and smooth it into an even layer- You will probably have to wash your hands and use your fingers to pat it down evenly.
Stir together remaining 1 tbsp sugar and 1 tsp ground cinnamon. Sprinkle dough evenly with cinnamon sugar mixture.
Bake for about 30 minutes, until bars are set and the edges are just very lightly browned. Cool in the pan before slicing.
