Irresistible Snickerdoodle Blondies

These bars are the spot on deliciousness of a fresh baked snickerdoodle without the work of rolling dough into balls and dipping into cinnamon & sugar.  Not only are these already fast to mix up, you don’t even need to soften butter! You start with MELTED butter!  Talk about wham bam, done!  These tasty treats will be the hit at any family gathering or potluck.

Very important! DO NOT skip the cream of tarter (available at all grocery stores in the spice/baking aisle).  This is what gives the cookies their distinctive tart/slightly sour background flavor setting them apart from a regular sugar cookie.

What you need:

  • 1 cup butter melted & cooled *
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 Tablespoon milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

Topping:

  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    Mix these together and set aside

Make It:

  • Preheat oven to 350° F
  • Grease a 9×13 Pan (I used a glass dish)
  • In a large bowl (or stand mixer bowl) combine melted butter, sugar, and milk.  Mix until very well combined and slightly fluffy
  • Add in eggs and vanilla.  Combine
  • Add flour, baking powder, cream of tartar and salt.
  • Slowly stir dry ingredients into butter mixture until incorporated.
  • Spread batter evenly into prepared pan
  • Sprinkle with prepared cinnamon & sugar topping
  • Bake in oven for 25-30 minutes until edges are just browned and a toothpick comes out clean or with a few crumbs (not wet batter).  If using a dark or metal pan, be sure to check doneness around 20-22 minutes as it may bake faster and brown more.

These stay fresh for 2-3 days.  If any of these remain more than a few days, refrigerate or freeze leftovers for best shelf life and flavor.

* I poured the melted butter into my stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and whipped on low until cool.  About 2 minutes.

KETO Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Cookies

Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Cookies

For this recipe, I was inspired by our 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies and my want for oatmeal cookies.
Unfortunately oats are pretty high in carbs, so I decided to use chunky peanut butter for texture.
Then it came to me, everything is better covered in chocolate. & don’t lie… we both know you we’re thinking it to!

Ingredient:

  • 1/2 c. smooth peanut butter
  • 1/2 c. chunky peanut butter
  • 1/4 c. sugar substitute – I use Swerve Granular
  • 1/4 c. brown sugar substitute – I use Swerve Brown
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 c. sugar free chocolate chips – I use these
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. butter, softened

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
  2. Combine peanut butters, 1 tbsp. butter, sugar substitutes and egg together in a large bowl.
  3. Using a cookie scoop, scoop the dough onto a baking sheet evenly spaced apart
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, let them completely cool
  5. While cookies are cooling, melt the chocolate chips and remaining butter together until smooth
  6. Dip cookies half way in chocolate and place on parchment paper until chocolate is set – I put them in fridge to help accelerate this step
