Chocolate Chip Snickerdoodle Bars

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 6 tbs sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 3/4 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp baking soda
  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 2 tbs sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and grease an 8-inch square baking pan. If desired, line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. Set aside.

  2. In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer or a stiff spatula, combine the softened butter and sugar until well mixed, about 2-3 minutes. Add in the egg yolk and vanilla extract and mix until just combined.

  3. Add in the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt, and stir until well combined and no dry pockets remain. Add in the mini chocolate chips and stir to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.

  4. Press the dough into your prepared baking sheet using clean hands. It will take a little bit of working, and the layer will be quite thin, but the dough will puff up while baking. Smooth out any lumpiness on top with the back of a spoon if desired. Mix together the additional sugar with the cinnamon, and sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the dough.

  5. Bake for 13-16 minutes, or until the bars look puffy and mostly set around the edges, just starting to turn golden. Cool the cookies completely in the pan before removing and slicing into your desired size and shape of cookie. Enjoy!
