My favorite thing about this time of year are all of the delicious treats! My roommates and I were recently “Boo’d” by some of our neighbors. Well as tradition has it, when you are boo’d, you have to go boo someone else too! (weird sentence..) I was sick of just making plain old cookies, and decided to give these Cinnamon Roll Sugar Cookie Bars a try! They were absolutely delicious, especially with the cream cheese frosting! It was hard to give a few away to my neighbors!

Is this more of a cake recipe or an actual cookie? I'm looking for something to make for our bake sale and I need individual portions that will be easy to eat on the go.

Made the bars today, very good. But found were also very dry.

Just made these- definitely more of a cake than a sugar cookie, so not what I was expecting. Still tastes good though, although they are pretty dry.
