Ingredients

  • cup Light butter substitute I used I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter, Light!
  • ½ cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cup All-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp Baking soda
  • ¾ tsp Cream of tartar
  • ¼ tsp Salt

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  • 1 tbsp Granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp Cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Make the cinnamon sugar and set aside. In a medium bowl, gently mix together the light butter substitute and the granulated sugar. (The substitute I used is rather soft, so I didn't have to soften it).
  • Once combined, add the egg and vanilla extract and stir to combine. Add the dry ingredients and gently fold everything until a dough forms. Do not overmix; stop mixing once the flour blends in. The dough will be slightly loose but still thick enough to spread.
  • Spread the dough into a greased or parchment-lined 9 x 9 baking dish. Once you have it in an even layer, scatter the cinnamon sugar mixture on top and gently press it into the dough to coat the entire surface.
  • Bake the snickerdoodle bars in the 350°F oven for 22 to 27 minutes or until thoroughly baked. Be careful not to overbake them because reduced-sugar treats tend to dry out quicker. It is okay if they look soft; a toothpick or knife inserted should come out pretty clean with just a few moist crumbs, and the bars should not look wet or shiny.
  • Slice into 12 even portions and enjoy!

Notes

5 WW points per serving when sliced into 12 even bars.
