Ingredients

Scale

1 ¾ cups All-purpose flour
½ cup Granulated sugar
½ teaspoon Baking soda
½ teaspoon Cream of tartar
¼ teaspoon Salt
½ cup Unsalted butter, melted
1 large Egg
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
¼ cup Granulated sugar (for cinnamon sugar coating)
1 ½ tablespoons Ground cinnamo
16 ounces Cream cheese, full-fat, softened
½ cup Granulated sugar (for cheesecake filling)
¼ cup Sour cream
1 large Egg (for cheesecake filling)
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for cheesecake filling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt
  3. Pour the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms
  4. In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup granulated sugar and 1 ½ tablespoons ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon sugar coating
  5. Press about two-thirds of the dough into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mix over the crust
  6. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add ½ cup sugar, sour cream, egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and mix until just combined
  7. Pour the cheesecake filling over the snickerdoodle crust and spread evenly
  8. Crumble the remaining dough over the cheesecake filling and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar mix
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle
  10. Let it cool completely at room temperature before chilling in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours
  11. Once chilled, lift the bars out of the pan, slice, and serve

Notes

For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend.

Chilling time is essential for clean slices and texture.
