I don’t know whether it’s the super hot and humid weather or the fact that school’s started around here, but I’m ready for all things fall. And that, of course, means pumpkin.
I’m sorry, but I just couldn’t wait to open that first can of pumpkin puree! I’m doing better than last year. I barely made it through the middle of August before I was ready for fall!
This year it’s been cooler and summer has been super busy so that I haven’t had time to really think about what season it is! But now I’ve thought about it, and I’ve made pumpkin snickerdoodle cookie bars.
These bars are a variation of my favorite sugar cookie bars. The sugar cookie bars provide the perfect base for lots of pumpkin flavor.
These soft, chewy cookie bars are filled with a bit of pumpkin and lots of pumpkin spices.
We can’t forget the pumpkin buttercream frosting. It makes way too long of a name if I stuck it in the title, but it is too good to be forgotten!
If you aren’t a fan of frosting, you could leave off the frosting and the bars would still be great.
But if you’re a fan of pumpkin buttercream, you’ll want to make sure to add the fluffy frosting! A sprinkling of cinnamon sugar rounds off the snickerdoodle flavor.
Ready for fall or not, you’ll want to make these bars soon!

Topping these cookie bars is a fluffy pumpkin buttercream frosting and a sprinkling of cinnamon sugar! **Because pumpkin puree can have different levels of moisture depending on brands, homemade versus store bought, you may need to add up to an additional tablespoon of milk after combining the dry ingredients to wet ingredients to help the mixture get a cookie dough texture.

How are you getting 24 cookie bars in a 9x9? Are you baking a few batches with this one recipe?

The bars are rich. A small piece is satisfying, but there's no rule that says you can't cut them larger.

The base turned out too cake like. By the photos I thought it would be more dense. I do live at high altitude so maybe that is why. The flavor is good and I love the idea...back to the lab.
