Ingredients
- 2 cups (400g) brown sugar
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups (248g) all purpose flour
For the Frosting
- 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter, softened
- 4 ounces (112g) cream cheese softened
- 2 cups (226g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-2 teaspoons heavy whipping cream or milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13” pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.
- Cream brown sugar and ½ cup butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add eggs and 1 tablespoon vanilla and beat until combined. Add cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and flour and mix.
- Press into prepared pan (dough is sticky, spray your hands with cooking spray to avoid it sticking to your hands).
- Bake for about 18-22 minutes. (Be careful not to overcook - the center will still be jiggly when you take these out of the oven and they will finish cooking and firming up as they cool.) Cool completely before frosting.
- To make frosting: cream butter and cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth. Slowly mix in the the powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Add 1 teaspoon heavy whipping cream and mix until smooth, adding more as needed for desired consistency. Frost the cooled bars, then cut into squares.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze in a single layer for up to 1 month.
