Ingredients Notes & Substitutions

Please check the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact quantities and instructions (scroll down).

  • Flour: Standard all-purpose flour works best here; skip the cake flour, bread flour, and wheat flour. Make sure to measure accurately; a kitchen scale is the best way to measure your ingredients, in my opinion. 
  • Baking powder & Baking soda: Make sure they’re not expired or too old. To avoid a chemical aftertaste, use baking powder that is labeled aluminum free. I usually use the Clabber Girl brand, and though the ingredients state aluminum, I’ve never noticed an aluminum aftertaste. 
  • Salt: I prefer kosher or sea salt. If you only have table salt handy, I recommend reducing the amount to half.
  • Cream of tartar: Cream of tartar adds a unique tangy flavor to the cookie, which sets it apart from sugar cookies and makes it a classic snickerdoodle, so don’t skip it!
  • Butter: I prefer to use unsalted butter, but if you only have salted butter handy, you can use it. In this case, skip the salt called in the recipe.
  • Sugars: For this recipe, you will need regular white granulated sugar o caster sugar, and brown sugar. Combining both sugars will help the bars have the perfect texture with a deeper caramelized flavor.
  • Sour cream: You can substitute sour cream for plain regular yogurt. I recommend using the full-fat versions.
  • Vanilla extract: For optimal flavor, reach for pure vanilla instead of imitation. Even better, try homemade vanilla extract! If you are looking for non-alcoholic vanilla flavoring, I recommend Simply Organic Vanilla Flavoring.
  • Vinegar: You can use apple cider vinegar or white vinegar.
  • Cinnamon: For extra flavor!
