Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
2 tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs

Icing

½ cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp milk

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Cream Butter and Eggs: In another bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter with sugar until light and fluffy. Then, beat in the eggs one at a time to incorporate fully.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overworking the batter.
Prepare and Bake: Pour the batter into the greased baking pan and smooth out the top evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the bars turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Make Icing: While the bars are cooling slightly, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth to create a glaze.
Drizzle Icing: Drizzle the icing over the warm bars evenly. Allow the glaze to set before cutting into bars and serving.

Notes

Softened butter refers to butter at room temperature, which is easier to cream with sugar.
Be careful not to overmix the batter once combining wet and dry ingredients to keep the bars tender.
You can add chopped nuts or raisins for an extra texture if desired.
These bars can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.
For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with a plant-based alternative and use a dairy-free milk for icing.
