Ingredients

Scale

For the Batter

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup milk (room temperature)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Icing

  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk (for icing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare the Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish thoroughly to ensure the bars do not stick.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light, fluffy, and well combined. This step helps create a tender texture.
  3. Add Eggs and Liquids: Beat in the eggs one at a time to the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Then stir in the milk and vanilla extract, mixing until just incorporated.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and spices.
  5. Mix Dry Ingredients into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can result in tough bars.
  6. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating doneness.
  7. Prepare the Icing: While the bars cool, mix together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth and creamy, perfect for drizzling.
  8. Ice and Serve: Once the bars have completely cooled, drizzle the cream cheese icing evenly over the top. Slice into squares and serve.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and even baking.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent dense or tough bars.
  • Allow the bars to cool completely before icing to prevent the icing from melting and sliding off.
  • These bars can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • For a stronger cinnamon flavor, sprinkle a bit of extra cinnamon over the icing before it sets.
