Tasty Treat Tuesday: Snickerdoodle Bars

I love Snickerdoodles, but every time I attempt to make them they taste horrible.  I’m just not sure what I am doing wrong.  I am excited to try this recipe, though.  Maybe I can finally be successful at making these and actually get to enjoy the yummy goodness of Snickerdoodles.  Don’t these bars look delicious?  Thanks Somewhere in the Middle!

Here’s what you need to make these:

Cookies

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp soda
• 2 cups flour
•  1/2 tsp cream of tartar (not called for in the original recipe, but I’ve never seen a snickerdoodle recipe without it)

Frosting

• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 4 cups powdered sugar (use a little more or less to achieve desired consistency)
