Salted or unsalted butter?
In this recipe, we use salted butter
I would love to make these, is there anything I could substitute for the shortening? I don’t care to buy some just for these bars but would love to try them!
You can use all butter

Excellent! All the favor of traditional snickerdoodle cookies without the hassle of rolling in each cookie in sugar/cinnamon before baking.
I’ve made this at least a dozen times and a pan never lasts long! Delicious!
This is not a very good recipe
I made these bars and added King Arthur baking cinnamon chips to the dough. Delicious and easy. Next time I will double the recipe!
