If you are a regular here, you know that this family is a lover of holiday spices. The mere mention of anything holiday spice related makes my son’s eyes light up & I instantly have his attention. I think it was all the goodies I ate when I was pregnant with him. It’s his absolute favorite & we all sure love it too. So whenever I want to make a treat my mind instantly thinks of what I can create that would include this favorite ingredient.

Chocolate Chip Snickerdoodle Bars

I was really torn between our secret family recipe for chocolate chip cookies & making snickerdoodles out of the old family cookbook we inherited from the hub’s grandmother. After doing some thinking I decided that we had never really combined the two & certainly never transformed either of the recipes into cookie bars. So I now had a plan, combine our favorite chocolate chip cookies & snickerdoodles into one incredible dessert.

Unlike regular snickerdoodles, I added a hefty teaspoon of McCormick® Ground Cinnamon into the batter. That really gave the bars a deeper holiday flavor since it’s so fitting for this time of year. These aromas & flavors such as McCormick Ground Cinnamon or McCormick Ground Nutmeg have the power to transport you back in time to some of your favorite holiday memories.

After I transferred the batter to the pan I gave the whole thing I nice liberal coating of McCormick Ground Cinnamon/sugar mixture before baking. Then once I pulled them out of the oven I sprinkled again while hot after I added the additional chocolate chips & then for a third time when they were just a little warm still. I did this because the first coating bakes in like it would on a snickerdoodle cookie. The second coat sort of melts in while the bars are hot which gives them that nice crisp outer crust, also just like a traditional snickerdoodle. I could have stopped there, but I am really visual with my food & I love that sparkle of the coating that is so delicious sprinkled on just about everything.

McCormick has been our pantry staple all my life. I grew up baking with McCormick with my mom & grandmothers. It really helps us add a little something special to all our holiday recipes.
