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