Ingredients
Bars:
- ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter , softened
- 1 ¼ cups (250g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100g) packed brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 ⅓ cups (283g) all-purpose flour
Filling:
- 1 tablespoon (13g) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Icing:
- 1 cup (113g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 tablespoons (30-45ml) heavy whipping cream or milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13” pan with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Cream butter and both sugars with a stand or a hand mixer. Beat in eggs, then mix in vanilla, baking powder, and salt. Slowly stir in flour, mixing until combined.
- Spread 2/3 of the batter in the bottom of the prepared pan. The dough is sticky and will make a thin layer. Spray your hands with cooking spray to help ease this process.
- Combine filling in a small bowl, sprinkle evenly over bottom layer. Drop 1 tablespoon balls of remaining dough evenly over the top of the filling. Spread lightly with your fingers, it will not cover completely.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean from the center. Cool one hour before glazing.
- To make the glaze: whisk all ingredients in a small bowl, then frost the bars. Let set before cutting.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
