And the pumpkin obsession continues…
So…I was a little skeptical about these. I made two different batches and liked both for different reasons…so now what, right? Well, I went to my taste testers and they picked which one they liked, and I made it again and OMG, it was better than the first batch.
Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Bars are definitely here to stay!!
So I have a confession. I don’t think I’m all that great of a taste tester. Wait…not to worry! Which is why I always have my husband, his family, my family and friends taste test as well.
Do you guys have that problem? Maybe it’s because I taste the batter, then when it’s out of the oven and then when it’s cooled…maybe it’s just taste overload.
Which is also why I always taste the next day and test the recipe again.
Anyways…these pumpkin snickerdoodle bars are spot on when it comes to taste. I LOVE the texture…they’re soft and a little chewy, and they are the perfect pumpkin cinnamon balance.
I mean pumpkin and cinnamon are EVERYTHING right now. Most popular flavors out there and I have to say…we love it around here!
Hope you do, too because I have plenty more to share.
And yes, that is a crunchy cinnamon sugar topping.

- 1¾ cup all-purpose flour

- Add the rest of the ingredients: baking soda, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and flour and mix on low-speed until combined. Dough will be sticky.
- Pour into prepared pan, spreading evenly. Butter hands if needed to help spread dough.
