Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, plus 2 tablespoons for topping
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, letting the paper overhang the sides for easy removal later.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the melted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: Mix together the remaining 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle this evenly over the top of the batter.
- Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached. Avoid overbaking to maintain the soft, chewy texture.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan, then slice into squares or rectangles.
