Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- Mix Together: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spread in Pan: Spread the cookie dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the cookie dough.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Cut: Allow the bars to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.
