Experimental Snickerdoodle Bars

So I was recently on a three day media fast for my Communications class and I was unable to use my phone or computer or any other kind of digital media or communication. SO. I had no recipes and I had a lot of extra time! I decided to experiment a little... I didn't really know what I wanted the result to be, so I just kinda threw some things together with the loose desire of making sugar cookies... I added some cinnamon and realized that the dough tasted like snickerdoodle dough, so I am going to call these "Snickerdoodle Bars" but keep in mind that this recipe is not perfect and probs would taste better if it was edited a bit (with that said, they tasted preeeety good :-))


Ingredients:

1 stick butter
2 eggs
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour

Directions:

1) soften butter and cream with hand mixer. Add the sugars and eggs. Mix well
2) add cinnamon, vanilla, and baking powder. mix
3) add flour and mix well
4) put in a pan (the smaller the pan, the thicker the bars) press into pan until evenly distributed.
5) sprinkle some cinnamon and granulated sugar on top (I also added sprinkles, but that was more out of boredom than anything else)
4) bake on 375 degrees F for 20-30 minutes (it gets hard on top but the middle should still be gooey- I poked it with a fork and took it out of the oven when the middle was cooked all the way)
5) let cool, slice, and enjoy!
