Snickerdoodle Bars

You know when you get tired of the same dessert or cookie? Well, I do. And my backup cookie has always been Snickerdoodles. I love the taste of cinnamon. It's definitely been one of my favorite flavors/scents. I love cinnamon gum, candles, hot chocolate, and desserts. There's something about the spicy sweetness that just gets me. I saw this recipe on Pinterest and it looked really good, so I thought I'd try it. And trust me, it was worth it. They are Heavenly!! Seriously, they're so thick, soft, chewy, and sweet. I was converted, honestly. And now I'm sure this recipe will be on my favorites list. If you don't believe me on how good these are, just try it. You won't be able to disagree!
