Pinned It Made It Monday Week 18

This week's pin was one I wasn't so sure I was going to like, but it looked so good I wanted to give it a try.
Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars. Snickerdoodles are my favorite cookies and sometimes there are recipes out there that just ruin them, but this wasn't one of them.

I was needing a dessert to take to a funeral, so decided that would be a good time to make them. I ended up coming home with 1/2 pan as there were so many desserts and not many people at the dinner. That was okay, because then we got to enjoy them. If you like snickerdoodles, I highly recommend this recipe.
